Kinesin-Like Protein Kif20A (KIF20A) Reagents

Kinesin-like protein KIF20A

Mitotic kinesin required for chromosome passenger complex (CPC)-mediated cytokinesis. Following phosphorylation by PLK1, involved in recruitment of PLK1 to the central spindle. Interacts with guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-bound forms of RAB6A and RAB6B. May act as a motor required for the retrograde RAB6 regulated transport of Golgi membranes and associated vesicles along microtubules. Has a microtubule plus end-directed motility.

Golgi apparatus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle.

Enables protein kinase binding activity. Involved in microtubule bundle formation; midbody abscission; and regulation of cytokinesis. Located in several cellular components, including cleavage furrow; intercellular bridge; and midbody. Implicated in restrictive cardiomyopathy.
