KIF5B (Kinesin Family Member 5B, Kinesin 5B, Kinesin 1, Kinesin Heavy Chain, KINH, KNS1, Ubiquitous Kinesin Heavy Chain, UKHC)
Description:
Kinesins are a superfamily of microtubule-associated motor proteins involved in a variety of cellular processes including membranous organelle transport and cell division. Kinesin has been found in a variety of organisms and cell types and is subject to spatial and temporal regulation. These proteins have a modular structure including a conserved motor domain of approximately 350 amino acids, which is responsible for microtubule binding and ATP hydrolysis. In addition to the motor domain, subfamily members share common domain organization, exhibit sequence similarity, motility properties, and cellular functions outside of the motor domain. There are currently three known Kinesin 5 family members denoted as A, B, and C. Kinesin 5A and kinesin 5C appear to be exclusively neuronal, whereas kinesin 5B appears to be ubiquitous in its expression.

Cellular Localization: Cytoplasmic

Positive Control: Mouse neuronal cell extract.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Concentration:
~1mg/ml
Immunogen:
Synthetic peptide: CIDEQFDKEKANLEAFTVDKDI, corresponding to amino acids 376-396 of Human Kinesin 5B, this sequence is 95% and 90% conserved for mouse and rat, respectively.
Purity:
Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Form
Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2, 1mg/ml BSA, 0.05% sodium azide.
Specificity:
This antibody is specific for kinesin 5B and does not detect other kinesin isotypes. Species Crossreactivity: Crossreacts with Mouse. Expected to crossreact with Human (100% identity with immunogen), Rat (90% identity with immunogen) due to sequence homology. Not yet tested in other species.
Intended for research use only. Not for use in human, therapeutic, or diagnostic applications.
