Gene Symbol KIF2C
Gene Full Name kinesin family member 2C
Background This gene encodes a kinesin-like protein that functions as a microtubule-dependent molecular motor. The encoded protein can depolymerize microtubules at the plus end, thereby promoting mitotic chromosome segregation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
Function In complex with KIF18B, constitutes the major microtubule plus-end depolymerizing activity in mitotic cells. Regulates the turnover of microtubules at the kinetochore and functions in chromosome segregation during mitosis. [UniProt]
Cellular Localization Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Nucleus. Chromosome, centromere. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Note=Associates with the microtubule network at the growing distal tip (the plus-end) of microtubules, probably through interaction with MTUS2/TIP150 and MAPRE1 (By similarity). Association with microtubule plus ends is also mediated by interaction with KIF18B. Centromeric localization requires the presence of BUB1 and SGO2. [UniProt]
Calculated MW 81 kDa
PTM Phosphorylation by AURKB, regulates association with centromeres and kinetochores and the microtubule depolymerization activity.

Ubiquitinated. [UniProt]
