KIF3A
kinesin family member 3A | FLA10, KLP-20

Enables protein phosphatase binding activity; small GTPase binding activity; and spectrin binding activity. Involved in protein localization to cell junction and protein transport. Located in centriole; centrosome; and spindle microtubule. Part of kinesin II complex. Biomarker of silicosis. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

KIF3A — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating KIF3A 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for KIF3A. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = KIF3A upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to KIF3A

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of KIF3A, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
