Uniprot Id

Q5T7B8

Target Species

Human

Target Name

KIF24

Target Full Name

Kinesin-like protein KIF24

Target Function

Microtubule-dependent motor protein that acts as a negative regulator of ciliogenesis by mediating recruitment of CCP110 to mother centriole in cycling cells, leading to restrict nucleation of cilia at centrioles. Mediates depolymerization of microtubules of centriolar origin, possibly to suppress aberrant cilia formation. Following activation by NEK2 involved in disassembly of primary cilium during G2/M phase but does not disassemble fully formed ciliary axonemes. As cilium assembly and disassembly is proposed to coexist in a dynamic equilibrium may suppress nascent cilium assembly and, potentially, ciliar re-assembly in cells that have already disassembled their cilia ensuring the completion of cilium removal in the later stages of the cell cycle.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole. Note=Primarily localizes to the mother centriole/basal body and is either absent at daughter centriole.

Target Protein Families

TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily, Kinesin family
