Kif17 - kinesin family member 17

Enables microtubule motor activity. Involved in anterograde dendritic transport of neurotransmitter receptor complex. Acts upstream of or within microtubule-based process; protein-containing complex localization; and vesicle-mediated transport. Located in cytoskeleton; periciliary membrane compartment; and photoreceptor connecting cilium. Part of intraciliary transport particle B and kinesin complex. Is expressed in central nervous system; retina; and testis. Orthologous to human KIF17 (kinesin family member 17). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
