Abstract excerpt
The human genome contains genes encoding for over 40 different types of kinesin and kinesin-like proteins. Of these, the functions of 13 kinesins remain uncharacterized. In this study, we constructed a plasmid containing the ORF of KIF18B and revealed that the KIF18B message of approximately 3kb is expressed in a tissue- and cell type-specific manners. A polypeptide of 842 amino acids was deduced from the ORF...
