Summary: Enables protein kinase binding activity. Involved in anterograde axonal transport. Predicted to be located in microtubule cytoskeleton; nuclear lumen; and sperm principal piece. Predicted to be part of centriolar subdistal appendage and kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in GABA-ergic synapse; cytoplasm; and microtubule cytoskeleton.

What's a GeneRIF?

KIF2 mediates the neuroprotection in cerebral ischaemia injury by affecting NF-kappaB pathway.
Title: KIF2 mediates the neuroprotection in cerebral ischaemia injury by affecting NF-κB pathway.
KIF2A at the injured axonal tips may contribute to neurite outgrowth inhibition after injury, and that its increased expression in inhibitory spinal neurons adjacent to the injury site might contribute to an intrinsic wiring-control mechanism associated with neuropathic pain. Further studies will determine whether KIF2A may be a potential target for the development of regeneration-promoting or pain-preventing therapies.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
