Anti-Kinesin Heavy Chain Purified

The antibody KN-02 recognizes heavy chain of conventional kinesin, a protein associated with intracellular vesicles, and with lower affinity with denaturated molecule. Epitope is located in coiled-coil stalk domain. It stains Western blots of kinesin-enriched preparations. Epitope mapping (by limited proteolysis of partially purified porcine kinesin) followed by immunoblotting has revealed that antibodies KN-01, KN-02 and KN-03 react with different sets of fragments. The antibody KN-02 does not react with kinesin bound to taxol-stabilized microtubules.
