Kinesin light chain 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLC2 gene.^[1][2]

Interactions

KLC2 has been shown to interact with MAPK8IP3^[3] and KIF5B.^[1][4]

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of KLC2 function. A conditional knockout mouse line called Klc2^{tm1e(EUCOMM)Wtsi} was generated at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.^[5] Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen^[6] to determine the effects of deletion.^{[7][8][9][10]} Additional screens performed: - In-depth immunological phenotyping^[11]
