NCBI Protein Information
armadillo repeat kinesin 2
NCBI Summary
Encodes a member of the armadillo/beta-catenin repeat kinesin motor family. Mutants have twisted roots due to abnormal cell file rotation; the phenotype is dependent on microtubules.

UniProt Comments
Involved in the control of epidermal-cell morphogenesis in roots and helical growth of roots by promoting microtubule depolymerization and limiting the accumulation of endoplasmic microtubules. Seems to be involved in the control of cell-file rotation (or twisting).
