| Function |
Motor for anterograde transport of mitochondria. Has a microtubule plus end-directed motility. Isoform 2 is required for induction of neuronal apoptosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18334619}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasmic vesicle {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}. Mitochondrion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16225668}. Note=Colocalizes with synaptophysin at synaptic cytoplasmic transport vesicles in the neurites of hippocampal neurons. {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Isoform 3 is abundant in the skeletal muscle. It is also expressed in fetal brain, lung and kidney, and adult heart, placenta, testis, ovary and small intestine. Isoform 2 is abundant in the brain and also expressed in fetal heart, lung, liver and kidney, and adult skeletal muscle, placenta, liver, kidney, heart, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon and pancreas. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10762626, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11526494, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12888911}.
