This entry represents kinesin-like proteins KIN14 from plants (also known as KAC family), including KIN14A/KCA1, KIN14B/KCA2 and KIN-14L. They are required for chloroplast movements and anchor to the plasma membrane through the reorganisation of short actin filaments located on the periphery of the chloroplasts [ 1 , 2 ].
