Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionklc-2 encodes a kinesin light chain; klc-2 is required for transport and localization of synaptic vesicles to presynaptic terminals; in addition, klc-2 is required for normal translocation of the meiotic spindle to the oocyte cortex; KLC-2 physically interacts with UNC-116/kinesin heavy chain (KHC) and with UNC-16 and UNC-14, suggesting that it regulates vesicular transport by mediating the association between UNC-116/KHC and synaptic vesicles; a KLC-2::GFP fusion protein is widely expressed and seen in neurons, muscle, and the pharynx; in neurons, KLC-2::GFP exhibits diffuse localization.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004211

Automated_descriptionEnables kinesin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including axon extension; establishment of organelle localization; and polar body extrusion after meiotic divisions. Located in cytoplasm and nuclear envelope. Part of kinesin I complex. Expressed in body ganglion; muscle cell; pharynx; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; SPOAN syndrome; and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Is an ortholog of human KLC1 (kinesin light chain 1) and KLC2 (kinesin light chain 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (36)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
