kif15-in-2, a potent kif15 kinesin inhibitor; inhibits cellular proliferation in various tumor cell lines [1].kif15,also known as kinesin-12 and hklp2, is a motor protein expressed in all cells during mitosis and in postmitotic neurons undergoing axon growth [2]. kif15 is a kinesin-related protein whose mitotic homologues are believed to crosslink and immobilize spindle microtubules.kif15 is involved in maintainingbipolar microtubulespindle apparatusin dividing cells and shares redundant functions withkif11 [3].
