Anti-KIF5A Antibody Picoband®

Kinesin heavy chain isoform 5A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF5A gene. This gene encodes a member of the kinesin family of proteins. Members of this family are part of a multisubunit complex that functions as a microtubule motor in intracellular organelle transport. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 10.

Protein ERGIC-53; ER-Golgi intermediate compartment 53 kDa protein; Gp58; Intracellular mannose-specific lectin MR60; Lectin mannose-binding 1; LMAN1; ERGIC53; F5F8D

Mannose-specific lectin. May recognize sugar residues of glycoproteins, glycolipids, or glycosylphosphatidyl inositol anchors and may be involved in the sorting or recycling of proteins, lipids, or both. The LMAN1-MCFD2 complex forms a specific cargo receptor for the ER-to-Golgi transport of selected proteins.
