  ID: KIF4A_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Chromosome-associated kinesin KIF4A; AltName: Full=Chromokinesin-A;
FUNCTION: Motor protein that translocates PRC1 to the plus ends of interdigitating spindle microtubules during the metaphase to anaphase transition, an essential step for the formation of an organized central spindle midzone and midbody and for successful cytokinesis. May play a role in mitotic chromosomal positioning and bipolar spindle stabilization.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with unphosphorylated PRC1 during late mitosis.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus matrix. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Midbody. Chromosome. Note=Not present in the nucleolus. In early mitosis, associated with the mitotic spindle, in anaphase, localized to the spindle midzone and, in telophase and cytokinesis, to the midbody. In late cytokinesis, found in the center of the midbody. Associated with chromosomes at all stages of mitosis.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in hematopoietic tissues, fetal liver, spleen, thymus and adult thymus and bone marrow. Lower levels are found in heart, testis, kidney, colon and lung.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the kinesin-like protein family. Chromokinesin subfamily.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 kinesin-motor domain.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAH49218.1; Type=Miscellaneous discrepancy; Note=Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence;

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
