Enriched in F cell and U cell based on single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-16; hsf-1; and alg-1 based on RNA-seq; proteomic; and microarray studies. Is affected by six chemicals including nicotine; Sodium Chloride; and Psoralens based on proteomic and RNA-seq studies. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease 3; asbestos-related lung carcinoma; autoimmune disease (multiple); and complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 2. Human KIF5B enables identical protein binding activity; microtubule binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Is an ortholog of human KIF5A (kinesin family member 5A); KIF5B (kinesin family member 5B); and KIF5C (kinesin family member 5C).
The corresponding CDS object for this gene had been created and removed before WormBase introduced the concept of unique gene identifiers. This (dead) gene object exists as an attempt to make sure that a gene ID exists for every worm gene prediction that has ever existed.
