KLC1 Rabbit anti-Human, Polyclonal, Bethyl Laboratories

Description

• The recommended shelf life for this product is 1 year from date of receipt
• Based on 100% sequence identity, this antibody is predicted to react with Orangutan Conventional kinesin is a tetrameric molecule composed of two heavy chains and two light chains, and transports various cargos along microtubules toward their plus ends
• The heavy chains provide the motor activity, while the light chains bind to various cargos
• This gene encodes a member of the kinesin light chain family
• It associates with kinesin heavy chain through an N-terminal domain, and six tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motifs are thought to be involved in binding of cargos such as vesicles, mitochondria, and the Golgi complex
• Thus, kinesin light chains function as adapter molecules and not motors per se
• Although previously named "kinesin 2", this gene is not a member of the kinesin-2 / kinesin heavy chain subfamily of kinesin motor proteins
• Extensive alternative splicing produces isoforms with different C-termini that are proposed to bind to different cargos; however, the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.
