Kinesin heavy chain isoform 5A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF5A gene.^[1][2][3]

This gene encodes a member of the kinesin family of proteins. Members of this family are part of a multisubunit complex that functions as a microtubule motor in intracellular organelle transport. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 10.^[3]

Interactions

KIF5A has been shown to interact with KLC1.^[4][5]
