    text
  • during spermatogenesis both KIF3A and KIF1BP localized in the cytoplasm of round spermatids and manchette of elongating spermatids
  • basic FUNCTION
  • may play a role in both perpherical and central nervous system
  • required for axonal outgrowth and maintenance
  • plays a role in mitochondria localization and distribution
  • required for cell differentiation and neurite development
  • involved in neuronal differentiation and the central and enteric nervous system defects seen in GOSHS are likely caused by microtubule-related defects
  • necessary role for proper neuronal differentiation and neuronal development
  • has an important role in modulating STMN2 function during neuronal development
  • role for KIF1BP in spermatid elongation and in the function of the late chromatoid body (CB)
  • both KIF15 and KIFBP are required for the alignment of all the chromosomes to the metaphase plate and the assembly of stable kinetochore fibers of the correct length

    protein
  • binds almost exclusively to microtubule associated or related proteins, specifically STMN2 and several kinesins
  • KIFBP is a specific interaction partner of KIF15 in mitosis, and promotes the localization of KIF15 to the spindle equator close to the chromosomes
  • KIFBP reduces the activity of KIF18A and KIF15 during metaphase (directly inhibits KIF18A and KIF15 motor activity by preventing microtubule binding)
