Kif27 - kinesin family member 27

Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; microtubule binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Involved in cilium assembly. Acts upstream of or within epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement and ventricular system development. Located in cilium. Is expressed in several structures, including choroid plexus; floor plate; genitourinary system; liver; and spleen. Used to study hydrocephalus. Orthologous to human KIF27 (kinesin family member 27).
