Product Specifications

Background

Kinesin-like protein KIF2C is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF2C gene. It is mapped to 1p34.1. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of kinesin-like protein family. Most proteins of this family are microtubule-dependent molecular motors that transport organelles within cells and move chromosomes during cell division. This protein acts to regulate microtubule dynamics in cells and is important for anaphase chromosome segregation and may be required to coordinate the onset of sister centromere separation. KIF2C uses microtubule depolymerizing activity to correct improper microtubule attachments at kinetochores.

Gene Name Synonym

Kinesin-like protein KIF2C

Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton . Nucleus . Chromosome, centromere. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Associates with the microtubule network at the growing distal tip (the plus-end) of microtubules, probably through interaction with MTUS2/TIP150 and MAPRE1 (By similarity) . Association with microtubule plus ends is also mediated by interaction with KIF18B. Centromeric localization requires the presence of BUB1 and SGOL2. .
