Kinesin-like protein KIF17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF17 gene.[1][2] KIF17 and its close relative, C. elegans OSM-3,[3] are members of the kinesin-2 family of plus-end directed microtubule-based motor proteins.[4] In contrast to heterotrimeric kinesin-2 motors,[5] however, KIF17 and OSM-3 form distinct homodimeric complexes.[6] Homodimeric kinesin-2 has been implicated in the transport of NMDA receptors along dendrites for delivery to the dendritic membrane,[1] whereas both heterotrimeric and homodimeric kinesin-2 motors function cooperatively in anterograde intraflagellar transport (IFT) and cilium biogenesis.[7][8]
