Purification | Affinity-chromatography |
Immunogen | A synthesized peptide derived from human MCAK |
Description | Promotes ATP-dependent removal of tubulin dimers from microtubules. Regulates the turnover of microtubules at the kinetochore and functions in chromosome segregation during mitosis. |
Storage Condition and Buffer | Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline , pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol. Store at +4°C short term. Store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze / thaw cycle. |
Name | KIF2C |
---|---|
Synonyms | KNSL6 |
Function | In complex with KIF18B, constitutes the major microtubule plus-end depolymerizing activity in mitotic cells (PubMed:21820309). Regulates the turnover of microtubules at the kinetochore and functions in chromosome segregation during mitosis (PubMed:19060894). Plays a role in chromosome congression and is required for the lateral to end- on conversion of the chromosome-microtubule attachment (PubMed:23891108). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P70096} Chromosome, centromere. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Note=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. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P70096, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17485487, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21820309} |
Tissue Location | Expressed at high levels in thymus and testis, at low levels in small intestine, the mucosal lining of colon, and placenta, and at very low levels in spleen and ovary; expression is not detected in prostate, peripheral blood Leukocytes, heart, brain, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney or pancreas. Isoform 2 is testis- specific. |
