The kinesins constitute a large family of microtubule-dependent motor proteins, which are responsible for the distribution of numerous organelles, vesicles and macromolecular complexes throughout the cell (1-3). Individual kinesin members play crucial roles in cell division, intracellular transport, and membrane trafficking events including endocytosis and transcytosis (3,4). Members of the heterotrimeric kinesin II family of microtubule associated motors generally contain two different motor subunits from the KIF3 family, which includes KIF3A, B and C (5). KIF3 isoforms mediate anterograde transport of membrane bound organelles in neurons and melanosomes, transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi, and transport of protein complexes within cilia and flagella required for their morphogenesis (6). The human KIF3B gene maps to chromosome 20 and encodes a 747-amino acid protein that is ubiquitously expressed (7). The KIF3B protein is essential for the left-right determination through a mechanism that produces a putative morphogen gradient along the left-right axis in the node (8).
