Alias Symbol | HK2, KIF2 |
Other Names | Kinesin-like protein KIF2A, Kinesin-2, hK2, KIF2A, KIF2, KNS2 |
Target/Specificity | KIF2A plus end-directed microtubule-dependent motor is required for normal brain development. KIF2A may regulate microtubule dynamics during axonal growth and has microtubule depolymerization activity. The protein is implicated in formation of bipolar mitotic spindles. Kinesins, such as KIF2, are microtubule-associated motor proteins. For background information on kinesins, see MIM 148760.[supplied by OMIM]. |
Format | Liquid. Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose. |
Reconstitution & Storage | Add 50 ul of distilled water. Final anti-KIF2A antibody concentration is 1 mg/ml in PBS buffer with 2% sucrose. For longer periods of storage, store at -20°C. Avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | KIF2A antibody - middle region is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | KIF2A |

Synonyms | KIF2, KNS2 |
Function | Plus end-directed microtubule-dependent motor required for normal brain development. May regulate microtubule dynamics during axonal growth. Required for normal progression through mitosis. Required for normal congress of chromosomes at the metaphase plate. Required for normal spindle dynamics during mitosis. Promotes spindle turnover. Implicated in formation of bipolar mitotic spindles. Has microtubule depolymerization activity. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Note=Localized to the spindle microtubules and spindle poles from prophase to metaphase Efficient targeting to spindle microtubules and spindle poles requires the kinase activity of PLK1. Recruited to mitotic spindles by interaction with PSRC1 |
