| Gene Symbol | KINESIN1 |
| Function | is a microtubule-based motor protein that transports cargo along axonal and dendritic pathways. |
| Amino Acids | 963 aa |
| GeneCards | KINESIN1 |
| Human Protein Atlas | KINESIN1 |
| Motor domain (head) | Located at the N-terminus, contains microtubule binding site and ATPase activity |
| Coiled-coil stalk | Mediates dimerization and cargo binding |
| Tail domain | Binds to cargo adaptors and regulates motor activity |
| Light chain subunit | Associates with heavy chain for cargo recognition |
| Synaptic components | Transports synaptic vesicles, vesicle precursors, and neurotransmitter receptors |
| Mitochondrial trafficking | Mediates distribution of mitochondria along axons [@diefenbacher2020] |
| Protein complexes | Carries signaling molecules, kinases, and transcription factors |
| Membrane organelles | Moves endosomes, Golgi-derived vesicles, and lysosomes |
| Synaptogenesis | Delivers synaptic proteins to developing synapses |
| Synaptic plasticity | Maintains synaptic vesicle pools and receptor distribution |
| Associated Diseases | neurodegeneration |
