Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 3798
Gene name Kinesin family member 5A
Gene symbol KIF5A
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ALS25D12S1889MY050NEIMYNKHCSPG10
Chromosome 12
Chromosome location 12q13.3
Summary This gene encodes a member of the kinesin family of proteins. Members of this family are part of a multisubunit complex that functions as a microtubule motor in intracellular organelle transport. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant spastic par
