Staining of U-2 OS FUCCI cells, to characterize the cell cycle dependency of the protein expression pattern. The FUCCI cells, Fluorescence Ubiquitination Cell Cycle Indicator, are cells tagged with different fluorescent proteins fused to two different cell cycle regulators Cdt1 (expressed in G1 phase) and Geminin (expressed in S and G2 phases) that allows cell cycle monitoring. When both proteins are present, the overlay of the images appear in yellow marking the G1/S transition. KIF2C is mostly expressed at the G1/S checkpoint, and during S and/or G2.

GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
KIF2C (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CT139, KNSL6, MCAK
Description
Kinesin family member 2C (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a kinesin-like protein that functions as a microtubule-dependent molecular motor. The encoded protein can depolymerize microtubules at the plus end, thereby promoting mitotic chromosome segregation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
