Receptor for kinesin thus involved in kinesin-driven vesicle motility. Parallel homodimers formed between the membrane-bound and the cytosolic form, and also between 2 cytosolic forms. Vesicle membrane protein anchored to the endoplasmic reticulum. A number of isoforms are produced. Both the membrane and cytoplasmic forms seem to be myristoylated. A cytoplasmic form lacking the first 232 amino acids has been characterized. Belongs to the kinectin family.
