Human Kinesin-like Protein Kif1A, KIF1A ELI

Motor for anterograde axonal transport of synaptic vesicle precursors.

Also required for neuronal dense core vesicles (DCVs) transport to the dendritic spines and axons.

The interaction calcium-dependent with CALM1 increases vesicle motility and interaction with the scaffolding proteins PPFIA2 and TANC2 recruits DCVs to synaptic sites.
