Function

FUNCTION: Microtubule motor protein that binds to microtubules with high affinity through each tubulin heterodimer and has an ATPase activity (By similarity). Plays a role in many processes like cell division, cytokinesis and also in cell proliferation and apoptosis (PubMed:24784001, PubMed:16648480). During cytokinesis, targets to central spindle and midbody through its interaction with PRC1 and CIT respectively (PubMed:16431929). Regulates cell growth through regulation of cell cycle progression and cytokinesis (PubMed:24854087). During cell cycle progression acts through SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process which controls CDKN1B degradation, resulting in positive regulation of cyclins, including CCNE1, CCND1 and CCNB1 (PubMed:24854087). During late neurogenesis, regulates the cerebellar, cerebral cortex and olfactory bulb development through regulation of apoptosis, cell proliferation and cell division (By similarity). Also is required for chromosome congression and alignment during mitotic cell cycle process (PubMed:15843429). Regulates cell spreading, focal adhesion dynamics, and cell migration through its interaction with RADIL resulting in regulation of RAP1A-mediated inside-out integrin activation by tethering RADIL on microtubules (PubMed:23209302). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:L0N7N1, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15843429, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16431929, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16648480, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23209302, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24784001, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24854087}.;

Disease

DISEASE: Meckel syndrome 12 (MKS12) [MIM:616258]: A form of Meckel syndrome, a disorder characterized by a combination of renal cysts and variably associated features including developmental anomalies of the central nervous system (typically encephalocele), hepatic ductal dysplasia and cysts, and polydactyly. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24128419}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Microcephaly 20, primary, autosomal recessive (MCPH20) [MIM:617914]: A form of microcephaly, a disease defined as a head circumference more than 3 standard deviations below the age, sex and ethnically matched mean. Brain weight is markedly reduced and the cerebral cortex is disproportionately small. MCPH20 features include mild to moderate intellectual disability, autistic features, poor speech. Disease severity is highly variable. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28892560, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29343805}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. The disease-causing variant NM_014875.2:c.263T>A, which produces a premature truncation of the protein at Leu-88 (p.Leu88Ter), may also partly result in the deletion of 372 bp of exon 2 of KIF14 by activation of a cryptic splice site. This in-frame deletion predicts a protein that lacks 124 aa (p.Gly58-Leu181del). The disease-causing mutation NM_014875.2:c.3662G>T, resulting in the missence variant p.Gly1221Val, may also induce the skipping of exon 24, resulting in a protein that misses 76 aa (p.Gly1221_ Lys1296delinsVal). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28892560}.;
