KIF17 and cancer: The tumor microenvironment, especially the immune aspect, profoundly impacts cancer outcomes and immune evasion.[31] In our study, we constructed a gene-gene functional interaction network and identified a number of KIF genes that could interact with KIFC2 including KIF6, KIF27, KIF19, KIF12, KIF25, KIF18B, KIF7, KIF2B, KIF17, KIF20A, KIF5C, and KIF4A.
