The gene KIF5A (kinesin family member 5A) is mapped to human chromosome 12. The encoded kinesin is expressed in all neurons, and present in neuronal cytoplasm, which includes the cell body, dendrites, and axon.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 1007-1027 from mouse kinesin 5A.
Application
Anti-Kinesin 5A antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry[1].
Biochem/physiol Actions
The gene KIF5A (kinesin family member 5A) encodes a kinesin heavy chain that may be involved in the microtubule-dependent slow axonal transport of neurofilament proteins. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 1 mg/mL BSA and 0.05% sodium azide.

Transport of material and signals between extensive neuronal processes and the cell body is essential to neuronal physiology and survival. Slowing of axonal transport has been shown to occur before the onset of symptoms in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We

We have identified a missense mutation in the motor domain of the neuronal kinesin heavy chain gene KIF5A, in a family with hereditary spastic paraplegia. The mutation occurs in the family in which the SPG10 locus was originally identified, at

CDV-DL (Canine distemper virus-induced demyelinating leukoencephalitis) represents a spontaneously occurring animal model for demyelinating disorders. Axonopathy represents a key pathomechanism in this disease; however, its underlying pathogenesis has not been addressed in detail so far. This study aimed at the
Dogs share many chronic morbidities with humans and thus represent a powerful model for translational research. In comparison to rodents, the canine ganglioside metabolism more closely resembles the human one. Gangliosides are components of the cell plasma membrane playing a
