KIF12
Description
The KIF12 (kinesin family member 12) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 9.
KIF12, or kinesin-12, is a human protein encoded by the gene KIF12. It's part of the kinesin family of motor proteins, which are responsible for moving things around inside cells. Mutations in KIF12 have been linked to a liver condition called cholestatic liver disease.
KIF12 is a motor protein that plays a role in the transport of cellular components within cells. It is involved in the process of cell division and other cellular functions. Mutations in KIF12 have been linked to cholestatic liver disease, a condition characterized by impaired bile flow.
KIF12 is also known as PFIC8.
