Kif20b - kinesin family member 20B

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; WW domain binding activity; and plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of mitotic cytokinetic process; positive regulation of neuron migration; and protein localization to microtubule. Acts upstream of or within neural tube closure; regulation of establishment of protein localization; and regulation of neuron migration. Located in several cellular components, including midbody; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and spindle midzone. Is expressed in cerebral cortex marginal layer; cerebral cortex ventricular layer; cortical plate; and cortical subplate. Used to study microcephaly. Orthologous to human KIF20B (kinesin family member 20B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
