products description :
KIF5 Antibody: The kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs) are microtubule-dependent motors that slide along microtubules and transport cellular organelles and mRNA to different parts of the cell. In neurons, KIF5 performs this role in an anterograde fashion from the neuronal cell body to axonal or dendritic terminals. KIF5 was initially differentiated from the ubiquitously expressed kinesin as being highly enriched in subsets of neurons and selectively concentrated in the cell body. KIF5 has at least three known isoforms; this antibody recognizes all three. Mutations in one of the isoforms of KIF5 (KIF5A) are thought to be involved in hereditary spastic paraplegias.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of the kinesin family of proteins. Members of this family are part of a multisubunit complex that functions as a microtubule motor in intracellular organelle transport. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 10. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
KIF5A: Microtubule-dependent motor required for slow axonal transport of neurofilament proteins (NFH, NFM and NFL). Defects in KIF5A are the cause of spastic paraplegia autosomal dominant type 10 (SPG10). An inherited degenerative spinal cord disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity (stiffness) of the legs. Rate of progression and the severity of symptoms is quite variable. Initial symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, muscle spasms, and dragging the toes when walking. In some forms of the disorder, bladder symptoms (such as incontinence) may appear, or the weakness and stiffness may spread to other parts of the body. Belongs to the kinesin-like protein family. Kinesin subfamily. Protein type: Motor; Microtubule-binding. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12q13.13. Cellular Component: kinesin complex; microtubule; membrane; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; cytosol. Molecular Function: protein binding; plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity; microtubule binding; ATPase activity; motor activity; ATP binding. Biological Process: synaptic transmission; axon guidance; protein localization; metabolic process; antigen processing and presentation of exogenous peptide antigen via MHC class II; cytoskeleton-dependent intracellular transport; blood coagulation; microtubule-based movement. Disease: Spastic Paraplegia 10, Autosomal Dominant
