Kif1c Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; microtubule binding activity; and plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Acts upstream of or within retrograde vesicle-mediated transport, Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in alimentary system; hindbrain meninges; submandibular gland primordium; telencephalon; and vibrissa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spastic ataxia 2. Orthologous to human KIF1C (kinesin family member 1C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Kif1c often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
