Kinesin heavy chain isoform 5A (KIF5) is a member of the kinesin-like protein family. These proteins are microtubule-dependent motors that slide along microtubules and transport cellular organelles and mRNA to different parts of the cell. In neurons, KIF5A performs this role in an anterograde fashion from the neuronal cell body to axonal or dendritic terminals. KIF5A was initially differentiated from the ubiquitously expressed kinesin as being highly enriched in subsets of neurons and selectively concentrated in the cell body. Mutations in one of the isoforms of KIF5 (KIF5A) is thought to be involved in hereditary spastic paraplegias.
