Antigen Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of kinesin-like protein family. Proteins of this family are microtubule-dependent molecular motors that transport organelles within cells and move chromosomes during cell division. This protein is important for anaphase chromosome segregation and may be required to coordinate the onset of sister centromere separation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function
ATP binding; centromeric DNA binding; microtubule motor activity; microtubule plus-end binding; protein binding;
