DESCRIPTION

Also known as KIF1A_HUMAN, KIF1A, ATSV, C2orf20. Motor for anterograde axonal transport of synaptic vesicle precursors. Also required for neuronal dense core vesicles (DCVs) transport to the dendritic spines and axons. The interaction calcium-dependent with CALM1 increases vesicle motility and interaction with the scaffolding proteins PPFIA2 and TANC2 recruits DCVs to synaptic sites. Monomer. Interacts with PPFIA1 and PPFIA4 (By similarity). Interacts with CALM1; the interaction is increased in presence of calcium and increases neuronal dense core vesicles motility (PubMed:30021165). Interacts with PPFIA2 and TANC2; both interactions allow the recruitment of neuronal dense core vesicles to dendritic spines and decrease in presence of calcium (PubMed:30021165). Interacts with SYT4 (unphosphorylated) and SYT11; both interactions increase in presence of calcium (By similarity). Interacts with MADD (By similarity).
