| Full Name | Kinesin Family Member 9 |
| Chromosome | 3p21.31 |
| Function | is a member of the kinesin-9 family encoding a plus-end-directed motor protein that transports cargo along microtubules. |
| Primary Expression | multiple tissues: |
| Amino Acids | 655 aa |
| UniProt ID | Q9HAQ7 |
| NCBI Gene ID | 64143 |
| Ensembl ID | ENSG00000057189 |

| Human Protein Atlas | KIF9 |
| N-terminal motor domain (aa 1-350) | Contains the microtubule-binding motor core with ATP-binding and hydrolysis motifs. The motor domain mediates ATP-dependent movement along microtubules. |
| Coiled-coil regions (aa 350-550) | Mediate dimerization and cargo-binding interactions |
| C-terminal tail (aa 550-655) | Functions in cargo recognition and regulation |
| Organelle trafficking | Transport of vesicles, mitochondria, and protein complexes |
| Associated Diseases | neurodegeneration |
| Databases | GeneCardsHPASTRING |
