Background
kinesin family member 4A(KIF4A) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the kinesin 4 subfamily of kinesin related proteins. The encoded protein is an ATP dependent microtubule-based motor protein that is involved in the intracellular transport of membranous organelles. This protein also associates with condensed chromosome arms and may be involved in maintaining chromosome integrity during mitosis. This protein may also be involved in the organization of the central spindle prior to cytokinesis. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome X.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010],
Function
function:Motor protein that translocates PRC1 to the plus ends of interdigitating spindle microtubules during the metaphase to anaphase transition, an essential step for the formation of an organized central spindle midzone and midbody and for successful cytokinesis. May play a role in mitotic chromosomal positioning and bipolar spindle stabilization.,sequence caution:Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence.,similarity:Belongs to the kinesin-like protein family.,similarity:Belongs to the kinesin-like protein family. Chromokinesin subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 kinesin-motor domain.,subcellular location:Not present in the nucleolus. In early mitosis, associated with the mitotic spindle, in anaphase, localized to the spindle midzone and, in telophase and cytokinesis, to the midbody. In late cytokinesis, found in the center of the midbody. Associated with chromosomes at all stag

Cellular localization
Nucleus matrix . Cytoplasm . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle . Midbody . Chromosome . Associates with chromosomes at all stage of mitosis (PubMed:11736643, PubMed:15297875, PubMed:15625105). Chromatin localization is dependent on iron-sulfur cluster binding (PubMed:29848660). In anaphase, associates with the mitotic spindle midzone (PubMed:15297875). In telophase and cytokinesis, co-localizes with CIAO2B at the spindle midzone and midbody (PubMed:29848660, PubMed:15297875). Co-localizes with PRC1 in early mitosis and at the spindle midzone from anaphase B to telophase (PubMed:15297875, PubMed:15625105). Does not localize to the nucleolus (PubMed:11736643). .
Tissue expression
Highly expressed in hematopoietic tissues, fetal liver, spleen, thymus and adult thymus and bone marrow. Lower levels are found in heart, testis, kidney, colon and lung.
