About KIF1B

Enables plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Involved in apoptotic process involved in development and mitochondrion transport along microtubule. Is active in mitochondrion. Implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A1; hepatocellular carcinoma; multiple sclerosis; neuroblastoma; and ovary epithelial cancer. Biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma.
