Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton . Mitochondrion . In elongating spermatid tail midpiece, localized in outer dense fibers (ODFs) and associates with mitochondria. Also localizes to the manchette in elongating spermatids. .
Kinesin is a microtubule-associated force-producing protein that may play a role in organelle transport. Plays a role during spermiogenesis in the development of the sperm tail midpiece and in the normal function of spermatozoa (By similarity). May play a role in the formation of the mitochondrial sheath formation in the developing spermatid midpiece (By similarity).
