Also known as LTXS1, SATX2, SAX2, SPAX2, SPG58, kinesin family member 1C
Kinesin-like protein KIF1C is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF1C gene. Kif1C is a fast, plus-end directed microtubule motor. It takes processive 8nm steps along microtubules and can generate forces of up to 5 pN. Kif1C transports α5β1-integrins in human cells. Kif1C has been shown to be non-essential in mouse with other proteins able to perform the same function. However, mutations in KIF1C lead to spastic paraplegia and cerebellar dysfunction in humans. These mutations usually result in a total loss of the protein or (partial) loss of function, such as significant lower force ou
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].
