General description
KIF11 (kinesin family member 11) gene is localized to human chromosome 10q23.33, which codes for a protein composed of 1056 amino acids. Its N-terminal contains the motor domain, a microtubule-binding domain, an ATP-binding domain, along with three coiled coil domains. It contains BimC domain at its C-terminal.
Immunogen
Kinesin-like protein KIF11 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-KIF11 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem/physiol Actions
KIF11 (kinesin family member 11) forms homotetrameric kinesin complexes. Mutations in this gene are linked with microcephaly, lymphedema and chorioretinal dysplasia syndrome (MLCRD), and chorioretinal dysplasia, microcephaly and mental retardation syndrome (CDMMR). This protein crosslinks two anti-parallel microtubules and moves to plus-ends of both the microtubules, thus, promoting the separation of spindle poles in a mitotic cell. It might also be involved in transport in cytoplasm. In prostate cancer patients, the nuclear expression of this protein acts as a marker to predict the aggressiveness of the tumor and the response to docetaxel.
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
Corresponding Antigen APREST71070.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
