Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Microtubule-based molecular motor that transport intracellular cargos, such as vesicles, organelles and protein complexes. Uses ATP hydrolysis to generate force to bind and move along the microtubule (PubMed:7559760). Plays a role in cilia formation (PubMed:9865700). Involved in photoreceptor integrity and opsin trafficking in rod photoreceptors (By similarity). Transports vesicles containing N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit GRIN2A into neuronal dendrites (PubMed:31746486).SUBUNIT Heterodimer of KIF3A and KIF3B (PubMed:7559760). KIF3A/KIF3B heterodimer interacts with KIFAP3 forming a heterotrimeric (KIF3A/KIF3B/KIFAP3) complex (PubMed:8710890). Interacts with the SMC3 subunit of the cohesin complex (By similarity). Interacts directly with IFT20 (PubMed:12821668). Interacts with FLCN (By similarity).INTERACTION Colocalized with GRIN2A in dendritic shafts and in DLG4-positive spines.DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Deficient mice do not survive beyond midgestation, exhibiting growth retardation, pericardial sac ballooning, and neural tube disorganization (PubMed:9865700). Kif3b +/- mice exhibit schizophrenia-like phenotypes, both behaviorally and histologically. Hippocampal neurons have altered spine morphology and synapse function, and at the cellular level, they display abnormal growth cone morphology (PubMed:31746486).SIMILARITY Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Kinesin family. Kinesin II subfamily.
