Kinesin family member KIF18A is a human protein encoded by the KIF18A gene.[5][6] It is part of the kinesin family of motor proteins.

Function

[edit]

KIF18A is a plus-end directed motor protein, and migrates to the plus ends of the spindle during early mitosis. It first accumulates there during prophase and metaphase, and is depleted during anaphase.[7]
