Background Information
KIF5C (Kinesin heavy chain isoform 5C variant) which belongs to the kinesin-like protein family is neuron specific. The kinesin-1 subfamilies (kif5a, kif5b, kif5c) are responsible for the movement of mitochondria in neurons. Kinesins have N-terminal motor domains and C-terminal cargo-binding tail domains separated by hinge regions. The hinge and C-terminal tail regions of Kif5a, Kif5b, and Kif5c bound a large detergent-resistant RNase-sensitive granule. The granule localized to dendrites and underwent bidirectional movement. Distally directed movement of the granule was enhanced by Kif5 overexpression and reduced by Kif5 functional blockage. kinesins may transport RNA in dendrites via this large granule. Two major isoforms of kif5c, with molecular predicted masses of 80 and 110 kDa, are generated by alternative splicing.
