KIF13B
Description
The KIF13B (kinesin family member 13B) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 8.
Kinesin family member 13B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF13B gene.
KIF13B plays a key role in reorganizing the cortical cytoskeleton. It promotes the development of extra axons, thereby regulating axon formation. Additionally, KIF13B is likely crucial for the intracellular movement of MAGUKs and related protein complexes.
KIF13B is also known as GAKIN.
