KIF5B
kinesin family member 5B | KNS, uKHC, KNS1

Enables identical protein binding activity; microtubule binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Involved in several processes, including natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity; positive regulation of protein localization to plasma membrane; and vesicle transport along microtubule. Located in several cellular components, including centriolar satellite; cytosol; and nuclear membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

KIF5B — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating KIF5B 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for KIF5B. 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 = KIF5B 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 KIF5B

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of KIF5B, 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.
