kinesin-like 1 protein; kinesin-like protein KIF11; kinesin family member 11; kinesin-related motor protein Eg5; kinesin-like spindle protein HKSP; thyroid receptor-interacting protein 5 (KNSL1, KIF11, TRIP5, EG5)

Function
- motor protein required for establishing a bipolar spindle
- blocking of KIF11 prevents centrosome migration & arrests cells in mitosis with monoastral microtubule arrays
- interacts with the thyroid hormone receptor in the presence of thyroid hormone
- phosphorylated exclusively on Ser during S phase, but on both Ser & Thr-926 during mitosis, so controlling the association of KIF11 with the spindle apparatus (probably during early prophase)
- phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR
Structure
- belongs to the kinesin-like protein family, BimC subfamily
- contains 1 kinesin-motor domain
