Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Microtubule-based motor activity:** KIF5A is a microtubule-associated motor protein that utilizes the energy from ATP hydrolysis to move along microtubules, facilitating the transport of cargo. 2. **Axonal and dendritic transport:** KIF5A is involved in the transport of vesicles, proteins, and other cargo along axons and dendrites, essential for neuronal function and development. 3. **Immune system involvement:** KIF5A is expressed in immune cells, such as dendritic cells, and is involved in the transport of MHC class II antigens, facilitating immune response. 4. **Cytoskeletal binding:** KIF5A interacts with various cytoskeletal proteins, including tubulin and dynein, to regulate its activity and cargo transport. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Adaptive immune system:** KIF5A is involved in the transport of MHC class II antigens, which are essential for the activation of T-cells and the initiation of the adaptive immune response. 2. **Anterograde axonal protein transport:** KIF5A facilitates the transport of proteins and vesicles from the cell body to the axon terminals, essential for neuronal function and development. 3. **Dendritic transport of neurotransmitter receptor complex:** KIF5A is involved in the transport of neurotransmitter receptors from the cell body to the dendrites, regulating synaptic transmission and neuronal plasticity. 4. **Ciliary rootlet and ciliary transport:** KIF5A interacts with ciliary proteins to regulate ciliary movement and transport of cargo. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Neurological disorders:** Mutations in the KIF5A gene have been associated with various neurological disorders, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which is characterized by peripheral neuropathy and muscle atrophy. 2. **Immune system dysregulation:** Abnormal expression or function of KIF5A has been linked to immune system dysregulation, including autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. 3. **Cancer:** KIF5A has been implicated in the transport of proteins and vesicles involved in cancer cell migration and invasion. 4. **Neurodegenerative diseases:** KIF5A may play a role in the transport of proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. In conclusion, the KIF5A gene is a critical component of the cytoskeleton that plays a vital role in various cellular processes, including axonal and dendritic transport, immune response, and neurological function. Understanding the functions and dysregulation of KIF5A is essential for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for neurological and immune-related disorders.

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
