ID:KLC3_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Kinesin light chain 3; AltName: Full=KLC2-like; AltName: Full=kinesin light chain 2; FUNCTION: Kinesin is a microtubule-associated force-producing protein that may play a role in organelle transport. SUBUNIT: Oligomer composed of two heavy chains and two light chains. Associates with microtubulin in an ATP-dependent manner. Interacts with KIF5C and ODF1 (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton (Probable). Note=Elongating spermatid tail midpiece, localized in outer dense fibers (ODFs) and associates with mitochondria (By similarity). DOMAIN: The heptad repeat (HR) motif is sufficient for interaction with kinesin heavy (KHL) chains and ODF1. The TPR region is involved in mitochondrial binding (By similarity). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the kinesin light chain family. SIMILARITY: Contains 5 TPR repeats.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
