Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP1575a was selected from the Central region of human KINH. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | KIF5B (HGNC:6324) |
---|---|
Synonyms | KNS, KNS1 |
Function | Microtubule-dependent motor required for normal distribution of mitochondria and lysosomes. Can induce formation of neurite-like membrane protrusions in non-neuronal cells in a ZFYVE27-dependent manner (By similarity). Regulates centrosome and nuclear positioning during mitotic entry. During the G2 phase of the cell cycle in a BICD2- dependent manner, antagonizes dynein function and drives the separation of nuclei and centrosomes (PubMed:20386726). Required for anterograde axonal transportation of MAPK8IP3/JIP3 which is essential for MAPK8IP3/JIP3 function in axon elongation (By similarity). Through binding with PLEKHM2 and ARL8B, directs lysosome movement toward microtubule plus ends (Probable). Involved in NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Drives the polarization of cytolytic granules and microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs) toward the immune synapse between effector NK lymphocytes and target cells (PubMed:24088571). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q2PQA9}. Cytolytic granule membrane. Lysosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side Note=Uniformly distributed between soma and neurites in hippocampal neurons. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q2PQA9} |

Background
Kinesins are microtubule-based motor proteins involved in the transport of organelles in eukaryotic cells. They typically consist of 2 identical, approximately 110- to 120-kD heavy chains and 2 identical, approximately 60- to 70-kD light chains. The heavy chain contains 3 domains: a globular N-terminal motor domain, which converts the chemical energy of ATP into a motile force along microtubules in 1 fixed direction; a central alpha-helical rod domain, which enables the 2 heavy chains to dimerize; and a globular C-terminal domain, which interacts with light chains and possibly an organelle receptor.
