KIF9 (Kinesin family member 9) is a microtubule-associated protein belonging to the kinesin 9 motor family. It is localized in the mitotic spindle.
Synonyms: Anti-Kinesin-like protein KIF9
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: KIF9 (Kinesin family member 9) is highly involved in the regulation of spindle dynamics, in terms of chromosome organization, spindle length control, and mitotic progression. It forms a complex by binding to the GEM, a small GTP-binding protein, in mitotic cells and the complex controls spindle length. It also retards microtubule growth. In primary macrophage of humans, KIF9 controls morphology and numbers of the podosomes and its ability to degrade matrix material.
