{"symbol":"KIF23","synonyms":["CHO1","KNSL5","MKLP1","MKLP-1"],"name":"kinesin family member 23","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is a member of kinesin-like protein family. This family includes microtubule-dependent molecular motors that transport organelles within cells and move chromosomes during cell division. This protein has been shown to cross-bridge antiparallel microtubules and drive microtubule movement in vitro. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
