KTN1
Function
Receptor for kinesin thus involved in kinesin-driven vesicle motility. Accumulates in integrin-based adhesion complexes (IAC) upon integrin aggregation by fibronectin.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the kinectin family.
Tissue Specificity
High levels in peripheral blood lymphocytes, testis and ovary, lower levels in spleen, thymus, prostate, small intestine and colon.
Cellular localization
- Endoplasmic reticulum membrane
- Single-pass type II membrane protein
- Vesicle membrane protein anchored to the endoplasmic reticulum.
