Summaries for KLC4 Gene

GeneCards Summary for KLC4 Gene

KLC4 (Kinesin Light Chain 4) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with KLC4 include Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia. Among its related pathways are Signaling by GPCR and RHO GTPases activate KTN1. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include microtubule motor activity. An important paralog of this gene is KLC2.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary for KLC4 Gene

  • Kinesin is a microtubule-associated force-producing protein that may play a role in organelle transport. The light chain may function in coupling of cargo to the heavy chain or in the modulation of its ATPase activity (By similarity).
