    Lineage
    Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis
    Also known as
    Arabidopsis thaliana KINESIN Ungrouped clade; armadillo repeat kinesin 2; AtKINUb; F22M8.8; F22M8_8; gene B
    Summary
    Encodes a member of the armadillo/beta-catenin repeat kinesin motor family. Mutants have twisted roots due to abnormal cell file rotation; the phenotype is dependent on microtubules.
