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

Interactions

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

Clinical significance

Mutations in KIF5A were reported to cause hereditary spastic paraplegia type 10 (SPG1) by Douglas Marchuk in 2002.[10] In 2018, mutations in KIF5A were also found to cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by Bryan Traynor and John Landers.[11] KIF5A also plays a role in Alzheimer's disease by modulating the toxic effect of beta-amyloid on axonal transport of mitochondria.[12]
