Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; microtubule binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including mitotic cytokinesis; mitotic spindle midzone assembly; and positive regulation of cytokinesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell division. Located in intercellular bridge. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; hindbrain; olfactory epithelium; submandibular gland primordium; and ventricular layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type III. Orthologous to human KIF23 (kinesin family member 23).
