Chromosome-associated kinesin KIF4A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF4A gene.

Function

Kinesins, such as KIF4A, are microtubule-based motor proteins that generate directional movement along microtubules. They are involved in many crucial cellular processes, including cell division.

Interactions

KIF4A has been shown to interact with HMG20B and DNMT3B.
