KIF11 - kinesin family member 11

Entrez Gene Name: kinesin family member 11
Synonyms: EG5, HKSP, KIF11, Kif8, Kifl1, KNSL1, TRIP5

Gene Summary

  • Human (3832): This gene encodes a motor protein that belongs to the kinesin-like protein family. Members of this protein family are known to be involved in various kinds of spindle dynamics. The function of this gene product includes chromosome positioning, centrosome separation and establishing a bipolar spindle during cell mitosis. [provided by RefSeq]
  • Rat (171304): participates in motile activities within the cell [RGD]
