Klc1 - kinesin light chain 1

Enables tubulin binding activity. Involved in intracellular protein transport and protein localization to synapse. Located in several cellular components, including growth cone; neuronal cell body; and vesicle. Part of kinesin complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Orthologous to human KLC1 (kinesin light chain 1).
