KIFBP

Chr 10AR

kinesin family binding protein

Also known as: KBP, KIAA1279, KIF1BP, TTC20

This gene encodes a kinesin family binding protein that activates KIF1B microtubule motor activity and is required for axonal microtubule organization, axonal outgrowth, and maintenance during nervous system development. Mutations cause Goldberg-Shprintzen megacolon syndrome, which involves both gastrointestinal and neurological systems. The condition follows autosomal recessive inheritance.

The Badonyi & Marsh prediction model was trained exclusively on dominant disease genes. Predictions are not reliable for genes with autosomal recessive inheritance and are shown at reduced opacity for reference only.
