Gene information for KIF22 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3835
Official gene symbolKIF22
Full namekinesin family member 22
Aliases,KID,KNSL4,OBP,OBP-1,OBP-2,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of kinesin-like protein family. This family of proteins are microtubule-dependent molecular motors that transport organelles within cells and move chromosomes during cell division. The C-terminal half of this protein has been shown to bind DNA. Studies with the Xenopus homolog suggests its essential role in metaphase chromosome alignment and maintenance. [provided by RefSeq]
