Kinesin family member 5A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF5A gene. It is part of the kinesin family of motor proteins.[5][6][7]

This gene encodes a member of the kinesin family of proteins. Members of this family are part of a multi-subunit complex that functions as a microtubule motor in intracellular organelle transport. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 10.[7]

Interactions

[edit]

KIF5A has been shown to interact with KLC1.[8][9]

Clinical significance

[edit]

Mutations in KIF5A have been reported to cause hereditary spastic paraplegia type 10 (SPG1).[10]

Mutations in KIF5A have also been found to cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.[11]

KIF5A has been shown to play a role in Alzheimer's disease by modulating the toxic effect of beta-amyloid on axonal transport of mitochondria.[12]
