Rabbit Anti-KIF5C/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Neuronal kinesin heavy chain 2 (NKHC2) is a 1,032 amino acid protein that is part of the kinesin superfamily which consists of the heavy chains of conventional kinesin. NKHC is expressed throughout the central nervous system, but is highly expressed in certain subsets of neurons. NKHC has a unique SLCterminal stretch of 69 amino acids and interacts with dystrobrevin, an adaptor/scaffolding protein. This interaction may play a role in the transport and targeting of components of the dystrophin-associated protein complex to precice sites in the cell. NKHC may also be involved in the microtubule-dependent slow axonal transport of neurofilament proteins during the maturation of neuronal cells.
Function:
Mediates dendritic trafficking of mRNAs (By similarity). Kinesin is a microtubule-associated force-producing protein that may play a role in organelle transport.
Subunit:
Oligomer composed of two heavy chains and two light chains. Interacts with GRIP1 and KLC3 (By similarity). Interacts with TRAK1.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton
Tissue Specificity:
Highest expression in brain, prostate and testis, and moderate expression in kidney, small intestine and ovary.
DISEASE:
Cortical dysplasia, complex, with other brain malformations 2 (CDCBM2) [MIM:615282]: A disorder of aberrant neuronal migration and disturbed axonal guidance. Clinical features include intrauterine growth retardation, fetal akinesia, seizures, microcephaly, lack of psychomotor development, and arthrogryposis. Brain imaging shows malformations of cortical development, including polymicrogyria, gyral simplification, and thin corpus callosum. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2723762}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity:
Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Kinesin family. Kinesin subfamily.
Contains 1 kinesin motor domain.
