| 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. |
| Function | Has a plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity and functions as a motor for transport of vesicles and organelles along microtubules. Isoform 2: Has a plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity and functions as a motor for anterograde synaptic vesicle transport along axonal microtubules from the cell body to the presynapse in neuronal cells. Functions as a downstream effector in a developmental apoptotic pathway that is activated when nerve growth factor (NGF) becomes limiting for neuronal progenitor cells. Isoform 3: Has a plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity and functions as a motor for anterograde transport of mitochondria. |
