Predicted to enable plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity and protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mitotic spindle assembly and regulation of mitotic centrosome separation. Predicted to act upstream of or within mitotic centrosome separation and spindle assembly. Predicted to be located in cytosol; microtubule; and mitotic spindle. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus and spindle microtubule. Predicted to colocalize with spindle pole. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, or mental retardation. Orthologous to human KIF11 (kinesin family member 11). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
