The intracellular transport functions of KIFs are fundamentally important for various cellular functions, including mitotic and meiotic division, motility\/migration, hormone and neurotransmitter release, and differentiation (1-4). Disruptions to KIF-mediated intracellular transport have been linked with various pathologies, ranging from tumorigenesis to defects in higher-order brain functions such as learning and memory (4-6). KIF5 consists of three family members: KIF5A, KIF5B, and KIF5C (7). KIF5A and KIF5C are specifically expressed in neurons, whereas KIF5B is expressed ubiquitously (7-10). KIF5A has recently also been found to be expressed in astrocyte processes and mutations of the protein have been linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (11-13).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nALS25; D12S1889; KIF5A; KIF5A variant protein; kinesin family member 5A; Kinesin heavy chain isoform 5A; Kinesin heavy chain neuron-specific 1; kinesin, heavy chain, neuron-specific; MY050; NEIMY; Neuronal kinesin heavy chain; NKHC; NKHC1; SPG10\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 125\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800021487785,"sku":"92872S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-92872s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
