| Gene Symbol | KIF3C |
| Full Name | Kinesin Family Member 3C |
| Chromosome | 2p23.3 |
| Function | is a neuronal kinesin motor protein that functions as a subunit of the heterotrimeric kinesin-2 complex. |
| Molecular Weight | 80 kDa |
| UniProt ID | [O14782](https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/O14782) |
| Ensembl ID | ENSG00000101955 |
| GeneCards | KIF3C |
| Human Protein Atlas | KIF3C |
| Motor domains | Two catalytic heads bind microtubules and generate force via ATP hydrolysis |
| Coiled-coil stalk | Mediates dimerization of the motor subunits |
| Cargo-binding domain | Binds to KAP3 (Kinesin-associated protein) for cargo attachment |
| Tail domain | Provides regulation through autoinhibition |
| Anterograde transport | Movement toward microtubule plus ends (cell periphery) |
| Processive movement | Can take hundreds of steps without dissociating, with step size of ~8nm |
| Associated Diseases | Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease |
| Databases | GeneCardsNCBI GeneHPASTRING |
