(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID64837
Official gene symbolKLC2
Full namekinesin light chain 2
Aliases,FLJ12387,
Gene summaryKinesin is a molecular motor that generates ATP-dependent movement of vesicles and organelles along microtubules. Kinesin consists of 2 light chains, such as KLC2, and 2 heavy chains (see KIF5B; MIM 602809) in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio (Rahman et al., 1998 [PubMed 9624122]).[supplied by OMIM]
