Kinesin 2 (Kinesin-2, KNS2, HK2, KIF2, KIF2A, Kinesin Heavy Chain Member 2, Kinesin-like Protein KIF2A, Kinesin Heavy Chain Member 2A) (PE)

Kinesin heavy chain member 2 is a kinesin-like motor protein. The kinesin-related proteins are involved in functions related to movements of organelles, microtubules, or chromosomes along microtubules. These functions include axonal transport, microtubule sliding during nuclear fusion or division, and chromosome disjunction during meiosis and early mitosis. The kinesins are tetramers composed of 2 heavy and 2 light chains. The N-terminal heavy chain sequences show similarity in all the kinesin-related proteins. The N-terminal part forms the motor domain, with the microtubule-binding region allowing...
