Cell Line Properties
Target Information
Gene Function
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.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the kinesin-like protein family. Contains 1 kinesin-motor domain.
Post-translational Modifications
Phosphorylated by PLK1 at Ser-528 during mitosis, creating a docking site for PLK1 and recruiting PLK1 at central spindle.
Storage & Handling
