Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Kinesin family member KIF18A is a humanprotein encoded by theKIF18A gene .[ 5] [ 6] kinesin family ofmotor proteins.
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]
KIF18a(-/-)knockout in mice results in complete sterility in males, but not females, due to abnormal development of theseminiferous tubules .[ 8]
KIF18A has been considered as a cancer target because it is overexpressed in many cancer types and mouse studies suggest it is dispensable in somatic cells.[ 9] [ 9]
