OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the kinesin family of microtubule-based motor proteins that function in the positioning of endosomes. This family member can direct mannose-6-phosphate receptor-containing vesicles from the trans-Golgi network to the plasma membrane, and it is necessary for the steady-state distribution of late endosomes/lysosomes. It is also required for the translocation of FYVE-CENT and TTC19 from the centrosome to the midbody during cytokinesis, and it plays a role in melanosome maturation. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads KIF13A as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against KIF13A could matter depends on whether native KIF13A is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

KIF13A is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label KIF13A as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
