Kinesin-associated protein; required for both karyogamy and mitotic spindle organization, interacts stably and specifically with Kar3p and may function to target this kinesin to a specific cellular role; locus encodes a long and short transcript with differing functions; CIK1 has a paralog, VIK1, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000004811]
Chromosome XIII: 659,745-661,529 forward strand.
R64-1-1:BK006946.2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 15 orthologues and 1 paralogue.
