Description
Product Characteristics:
KIF11 is a motor protein that belongs to the kinesin-like protein family. Members of this protein family are known to be involved in various kinds of spindle dynamics. The function of this gene product includes chromosome positioning, centrosome separation and establishing a bipolar spindle during cell mitosis. Blocking of KIF11 prevents centrosome migration and arrest cells in mitosis with monoastral microtubule arrays.
Synonyms: Kinesin-like protein KIF11, Kinesin-like protein 1, Kinesin-like spindle protein HKSP, Kinesin-related motor protein Eg5, Thyroid receptor-interacting protein 5, TR-interacting protein 5, TRIP-5, KIF11, EG5, KNSL1, TRIP5.
Target Information: This gene encodes a motor protein that belongs to the kinesin-like protein family. Members of this protein family are known to be involved in various kinds of spindle dynamics. The function of this gene product includes chromosome positioning, centrosome separation and establishing a bipolar spindle during cell mitosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
