KIF2C rabbit pAb

Kinesin family member 2C (KIF2C) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a kinesin-like protein that functions as a microtubule-dependent molecular motor. The encoded protein can depolymerize microtubules at the plus end, thereby promoting mitotic chromosome segregation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

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 SGO2. .
