General description

Kinesin Family (KIF) of proteins is responsible for the intracellular transport of mRNAs, membrane vesicles, organelles and protein complexes, in polarized cells. They are molecular motors, which are microtubule dependent. They are divided into 14 subfamilies through kinesin-1 to kinesin-14. KIF1A protein is a part of kinesin-3 subfamily and is composed of 1690 amino acids. KIF1A is an N-kinesin as its motor domain is present at the N-terminal.

Immunogen

Kinesin-like protein KIF1A recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project 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. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Kinesin Family 1A (KIF1A) protein drives transport in an anterograde manner, i.e. the microtubule plus end towards the axon terminal. It transports the synaptic vesicle precursors to the axon terminal. The precursors contain synaptic vesicle proteins, synaptophysin, synaptotagmin, as well as the GTPase RAB3A. RAB3 then causes the exocytosis of neurotransmitters contained in the synaptic vesicles at the axon end. During brain development in embryos, KIF1A regulates the interkinetic nuclear migration. Two autosomal recessive families of hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) have been linked to mutations in KIF1A gene. Also, mutations in KIF1A gene are a rare cause of hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 2 (HSANII).

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Linkage

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
