KIF1C kinesin family member 1C

Gene ID: 10749, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SAX2; LTXS1; SATX2; SPAX2; SPG58

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the kinesin-like protein family. The family members are microtubule-dependent molecular motors that transport organelles within cells and move chromosomes during cell division. Mutations in this gene are a cause of spastic ataxia 2, autosomal recessive. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
