NCBI Summary for Kinesin 5A
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 paraplegia 10. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
UniProt Comments for Kinesin 5A
KIF5A: Microtubule-dependent motor required for slow axonal transport of neurofilament proteins (NFH, NFM and NFL). Defects in KIF5A are the cause of spastic paraplegia autosomal dominant type 10 (SPG10). An inherited degenerative spinal cord disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity (stiffness) of the legs. Rate of progression and the severity of symptoms is quite variable. Initial symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, muscle spasms, and dragging the toes when walking. In some forms of the disorder, bladder symptoms (such as incontinence) may appear, or the weakness and stiffness may spread to other parts of the body. Belongs to the kinesin-like protein family. Kinesin subfamily.
Protein type: Microtubule-binding; Motor
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12q13.13
Cellular Component: microtubule; kinesin complex; membrane; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; cytosol
Molecular Function: protein binding; plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity; microtubule binding; ATPase activity; motor activity; ATP binding
Biological Process: synaptic transmission; axon guidance; protein localization; metabolic process; antigen processing and presentation of exogenous peptide antigen via MHC class II; cytoskeleton-dependent intracellular transport; blood coagulation; microtubule-based movement
Disease: Spastic Paraplegia 10, Autosomal Dominant
Research Articles on Kinesin 5A
1. Combining next-generation sequencing and conventional sequencing, study confirms that KIF5A mutations can cause variable phenotypes ranging from hereditary spastic paraplegia to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2
