Gene ontology (GO)Gene Ontology (GO) annotations describing the biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components associated with a gene.
Plus end-directed microtubule-dependent motor required for spindle assembly and chromosome movement. Has microtubule depolymerization activity (PubMed:17538014). Plays a role in chromosome congression (PubMed:23891108). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17538
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highest level in lung. High level in ovary, moderate levels in heart, kidney, placenta, skeletal muscle and spleen (at protein level). Pancreas and spleen express a shorter isoform (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17538014}.
