DESCRIPTION

Also known as KIF5A_MOUSE, Kif5a, Kiaa4086, Kif5, Nkhc1. Microtubule-dependent motor required for slow axonal transport of neurofilament proteins (NFH, NFM and NFL) (PubMed:12682084). Can induce formation of neurite-like membrane protrusions in non-neuronal cells in a ZFYVE27-dependent manner. The ZFYVE27-KIF5A complex contributes to the vesicular transport of VAPA, VAPB, SURF4, RAB11A, RAB11B and RTN3 proteins in neurons (PubMed:21976701). Required for anterograde axonal transportation of MAPK8IP3/JIP3 which is essential for MAPK8IP3/JIP3 function in axon elongation (By similarity). Oligomer composed of two heavy chains and two light chains. Interacts with GRIP1 (PubMed:11986669). Interacts with FMR1 (via C-terminus); this interaction is increased in a mGluR-dependent manner (PubMed:18539120). Interacts with BORCS5 (By similarity). Interacts with ZFYVE27 (PubMed:21976701, PubMed:24251978). Interacts with VAPA, VAPB, SURF4, RAB11A (GDP-bound form), RAB11B (GDP-bound form) and RTN3 in a ZFYVE27-dependent manner (PubMed:21976701). Interacts with BICD2 (By similarity). Interacts with DTNB (PubMed:14600269).
