Kinesin light chain 3 (KLC3)

The protein contains 504 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 55364 Da.

 

Kinesin is a microtubule-associated force-producing protein that may play a role in organelle transport. (updated: March 4, 2015)

CLONING

Lamerdin et al. (1996) reported the comparative analysis of 91.6 kb of sequence including 54.3 kb encompassing the human ERCC2 locus (126340) on 19q13.2-q13.3, the syntenic region in the mouse (32.6 kb), and a further 4.7 kb of sequence 3-prime of the previously reported ERCC2 region in the hamster. In addition to ERCC2, the analysis revealed the presence of 2 previously undescribed genes, one of which was KLC3, in all 3 species. KLC3, which Lamerdin et al. (1996) had designated KLC2, was most similar to the kinesin light chain gene in sea urchin. The deduced human protein contains 504 amino acids and shows significant sequence identity with the human KLC1 protein (600025).

GENE STRUCTURE

Lamerdin et al. (1996) found by sequence comparison that the human, mouse, and hamster KLC3 genes share 12 conserved exons; the human gene contains 10 (as well as 1 alternate exon), the mouse contains 11, and the hamster 8.

MAPPING

By sequence analysis, Lamerdin et al. (1996) identified the KLC3 gene on chromosome 19q13.2-q13.3. ... More on the omim web site
