Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human KIF2C around the phosphorylation site of Ser95. AA range:61-110
Specificity
Phospho-KIF2C (S95) Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of KIF2C protein only when phosphorylated at S95.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
WB 1:500-2000;IHC-p 1:50-300
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
kinesin family member 2C(KIF2C) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a kinesin-like protein that functions as a microtubule-dependent molecular motor. The encoded protein can depolymerize microtubules at the plus end, thereby promoting mitotic chromosome segregation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function
function:Present throughout the cell cycle, associates with centromeres at early prophase, and remains associated with the centromere until after telophase.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,similarity:Belongs to the kinesin-like protein family.,similarity:Belongs to the kinesin-like protein family. MCAK/KIF2 subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 kinesin-motor domain.,subunit:Interacts with CENPH.,tissue specificity:Expressed at high levels in thymus and testis, at low levels in small intestine, the mucosal lining of colon, and placenta, and at very low levels in spleen and ovary; expression is not detected in prostate, peripheral blood Leukocytes, heart, brain, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney or pancreas.,

Cellular localization
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton . Nucleus . Chromosome, centromere . Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore . Associates with the microtubule network at the growing distal tip (the plus-end) of microtubules, probably through interaction with MTUS2/TIP150 and MAPRE1 (By similarity). Association with microtubule plus ends is also mediated by interaction with KIF18B. Centromeric localization requires the presence of BUB1 and SGO2. .
Tissue expression
Expressed at high levels in thymus and testis, at low levels in small intestine, the mucosal lining of colon, and placenta, and at very low levels in spleen and ovary; expression is not detected in prostate, peripheral blood Leukocytes, heart, brain, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney or pancreas. Isoform 2 is testis-specific.
