Function

The protein KifC1 is a member of the kinesin-14 family. KifC1 consists of a C-terminal motor domain, superhelical stalk, and N-terminal tail domain. Tail and motor domains contain microtubule-binding sites. This kinesin moves toward the minus-end of the microtubule and has the ability to slide or crosslink microtubules. KifC1 functions during mitotic spindle formation.
