Mouse monoclonal [KN - 02] to KinesinKinesin belongs to the group of motor proteins known to convert chemical energy released from ATP into mechanical energy. Conventional kinesin, member of the kinesin superfamily comprising more than 100 proteins, is involved in the anterograde vesicle transport inneuronal cells. Kinesin purified from mammalian brain homogenates is a heterotetramer consisting of two heavy (120 to 130 kDa) and two light chains (60 to 70 kDa), resulting in a molecular mass about 400 kDa. Each heavy chain contains an N-terminal globular motordomain with both a microtubule-binding site and an ATPase active center, stalk region responsible for heavy chain dimerization and finally C-terminal globular tail domain, which is implicated in cargo binding. Light chains may have a regulatory function.

Target Information
Gene Synonyms
kinesin 1 (110-120kD) kinesin family member 5B Kinesin heavy chain ubiquitous UKHC
Target
Kinesin
Tissue Specificity
The antibody reacts with heavy chain of conventional kinesin associated with vesicles and with lower affinity with denaturated molecule. The antibody does not react with kinesin bound to taxol-stabilized microtubules.
Cellular Localization
Microtubules
Application
Application
Immunofluorescence staining of vesicles (red) in RBL-2H3 rat basophilic leukemia cell line using anti-Kinesin . Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue).
