Role of a kinesin motor in cancer cell mechanics

2019-07-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Molecular motors play important roles in force generation, migration and intracellular trafficking. Changes in specific motor activities are altered in numerous diseases. KIF20A, a motor protein of the kinesin-6 family, is overexpressed in bladder cancer, and KIF20A levels correlate negatively with the clinical outcome. We report here a new role for the KIF20A kinesin motor protein in intracellul...
