Q96Q89

Target Species

Human

Target Name

KIF20B

Target Full Name

Kinesin-like protein KIF20B

Target Function

Plus-end-directed motor enzyme that is required for completion of cytokinesis. Required for proper midbody organization and abscission in polarized cortical stem cells. Plays a role in the regulation of neuronal polarization by mediating the transport of specific cargos. Participates in the mobilization of SHTN1 and in the accumulation of PIP3 in the growth cone of primary hippocampal neurons in a tubulin and actin-dependent manner. In the developing telencephalon, cooperates with SHTN1 to promote both the transition from the multipolar to the bipolar stage and the radial migration of cortical neurons from the ventricular zone toward the superficial layer of the neocortex. Involved in cerebral cortex growth. Acts as an oncogene for promoting bladder cancer cells proliferation, apoptosis inhibition and carcinogenic progression.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Nucleus, nucleolus. Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Midbody. Cell projection, axon. Cell projection, growth cone.

Target Background

Enables several functions, including WW domain binding activity; plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in positive regulation of cell population proliferation and positive regulation of cytokinesis. Located in several cellular components, including microtubule cytoskeleton; midbody; and nuclear lumen.
