KINESIN FAMILY MEMBER 4B; KIF4B


HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: KIF4B

Cytogenetic location: 5q33.2   Genomic coordinates (GRCh38) : 5:155,013,755-155,018,141 (from NCBI)


TEXT

▼ Cloning and Expression

By searching databases for sequences similar to mouse Kif4 (KIF4A; 300521), followed by PCR and screening a HeLa cell cDNA library, Oh et al. (2000) cloned KIF4B.


▼ Gene Structure

Oh et al. (2000) determined that KIF4B is an intronless gene, and they suggested that it may be a processed pseudogene of KIF4A.


▼ Mapping

By FISH, Ha et al. (2000) mapped the KIF4B gene to chromosome 5q33.1.
