Summary: Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; cytoskeletal protein binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule-based movement and positive regulation of neuron projection development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including microtubule plus-end; neuronal ribonucleoprotein granule; and synaptic vesicle. Predicted to be part of kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and microtubule. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human KIF3C (kinesin family member 3C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

KIF3A accelerates KIF3C within the kinesin-2 heterodimer to generate symmetrical phosphate release rates for each processive step.
Title: KIF3A accelerates KIF3C within the kinesin-2 heterodimer to generate symmetrical phosphate release rates for each processive step.
The mechanochemistry of the kinesin-2 KIF3AC heterodimer is related to strain-dependent kinetic properties of KIF3A and KIF3C.
Title: The mechanochemistry of the kinesin-2 KIF3AC heterodimer is related to strain-dependent kinetic properties of KIF3A and KIF3C.
Results reveal that engineered homodimeric KIF3CC is targeted to the microtubule plus-end, acts as a potent catastrophe factor through an increase in microtubule catastrophe frequency, and does so by elimination of the dependence of the catastrophe rate on microtubule lifetime. Moreover, KIF3CC accelerates the catastrophe rate without altering the microtubule growth rate.
Title: Homodimeric Kinesin-2 KIF3CC Promotes Microtubule Dynamics.
Study found that both KIF3AC and KIF3AB can traverse long distances over the microtubule track, revealing that these motors are adept and well-tuned for their specialized roles as cargo transporters
Title: Kinesin-2 KIF3AC and KIF3AB Can Drive Long-Range Transport along Microtubules.
Data suggest biocatalysis by Kif3a homodimer, Kif3c homodimer, or Kif3a/Kif3c heterodimer vary; microtubule interaction is very fast for Kif3a homodimer; Kif3c homodimer interaction is much slower; Kif3a/Kif3c heterodimer interaction is intermediate.
Title: Fast or Slow, Either Head Can Start the Processive Run of Kinesin-2 KIF3AC.
KIF3C is an injury-specific kinesin that contributes to axon growth and regeneration by regulating and organizing the microtubule cytoskeleton in the growth cone.
Title: The kinesin-2 family member KIF3C regulates microtubule dynamics and is required for axon growth and regeneration.

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.
