| Gene Symbol | KIF13B |
| Full Name | Kinesin Family Member 13B |
| Chromosome | 8p21.3 |
| Function | is an important component in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. |
| Molecular Weight | 180 kDa |
| UniProt ID | Q9N2U8 |
| NCBI Gene ID | 25803 |
| Ensembl ID | ENSG00000102743 |
| OMIM | 607349 |
| GeneCards | KIF13B |
| Human Protein Atlas | KIF13B |
| ATP-dependent movement | KIF13B hydrolyzes ATP to generate force for movement along microtubule tracks, typically moving toward the plus end of microtubules |
| Processive motility | The protein can take numerous steps along the microtubule track without dissociating, making it efficient for long-range transport |
| Cargo binding | KIF13B contains specific domains that recognize and bind to diverse cargo molecules, including vesicles, protein complexes, and membrane organelles |
| N-terminal motor domain | Catalyzes ATP hydrolysis and microtubule binding |
| Associated Diseases | neurodegeneration |
| Databases | GeneCardsHPASTRING |
