KIF5B
Overview
Kinesin family member 5B (KIF5B) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions as a microtubule-dependent motor that regulates the normal distribution of mitochondria and lysosomes. Fusions, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and stomach cancer.
