Enables kinesin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including axon extension; establishment of organelle localization; and polar body extrusion after meiotic divisions. Located in cytoplasm and nuclear envelope. Part of kinesin I complex. Expressed in body ganglion; muscle cell; pharynx; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; SPOAN syndrome; and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Is an ortholog of human KLC1 (kinesin light chain 1) and KLC2 (kinesin light chain 2).
The protein encoded by this gene is a light chain of kinesin, a molecular motor responsible for moving vesicles and organelles along microtubules. Defects in this gene are a cause of spastic paraplegia, optic atrophy, and neuropathy (SPOAN) syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
Predicted to be part of kinesin complex. Is an ortholog of C. elegans klc-2. In C. elegans, klc-2 is involved in several processes, including axon extension; establishment of organelle localization; and polar body extrusion after meiotic divisions.
