Gene name Kinesin family member 2C
Gene symbol KIF2C
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CT139KNSL6MCAK
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p34.1
Summary 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 multip

Protein name Kinesin-like protein KIF2C (Kinesin-like protein 6) (Mitotic centromere-associated kinesin) (MCAK)
Protein function In complex with KIF18B, constitutes the major microtubule plus-end depolymerizing activity in mitotic cells (PubMed:21820309). Regulates the turnover of microtubules at the kinetochore and functions in chromosome segregation during mitosis (PubM
