Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; cytoskeletal protein binding activity; and plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Involved in cellular response to estradiol stimulus. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including caveola; kinetochore microtubule; and ruffle. Predicted to be part of kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in mitotic spindle astral microtubule; mitotic spindle midzone; and nucleus. Orthologous to human KIF18A (kinesin family member 18A).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
