  • FUNCTION Microtubule-dependent motor required for slow axonal transport of neurofilament proteins (NFH, NFM and NFL). 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. Required for anterograde axonal transportation of MAPK8IP3/JIP3 which is essential for MAPK8IP3/JIP3 function in axon elongation.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY ATP + H2O + a kinesin associated with a microtubule at position (n) = ADP + phosphate a kinesin associated with a microtubule at position (n+1, toward the plus end).SUBUNIT Oligomer composed of two heavy chains and two light chains. Interacts with GRIP1. Interacts with FMR1 (via C-terminus); this interaction is increased in a mGluR-dependent manner. Interacts with ZFYVE27. Interacts with VAPA, VAPB, SURF4, RAB11A (GDP-bound form), RAB11B (GDP-bound form) and RTN3 in a ZFYVE27-dependent manner (By similarity). Interacts with BORCS5 (PubMed:25898167). Interacts with BICD2 (PubMed:20386726). Interacts with DTNB (By similarity).INTERACTION Concentrated in the cell body of the neurons, particularly in the perinuclear region.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Distributed throughout the CNS but is highly enriched in subsets of neurons.DOMAIN Composed of three structural domains: a large globular N-terminal domain which is responsible for the motor activity of kinesin (it hydrolyzes ATP and binds microtubule), a central alpha-helical coiled coil domain that mediates the heavy chain dimerization; and a small globular C-terminal domain which interacts with other proteins (such as the kinesin light chains), vesicles and membranous organelles.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. The mutation NM_004984.2:c.33019A>G encoding the predicted missence variant p.Arg1007Gly, may also affect splicing and induce the skipping of exon 27, resulting in a frameshift and a premature stop codon producing a truncated protein p.Asn999Valfs*39.SIMILARITY Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Kinesin family. Kinesin subfamily.SEQUENCE CAUTION Extended N-terminus.
