General description

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.

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.
