  Function in Host
Plus end-directed microtubule-dependent motor required fornormal brain development. May regulate microtubule dynamics duringaxonal growth. Required for normal progression through mitosis. Required for normal congress of chromosomes at the metaphase plate. Required for normal spindle dynamics during mitosis. Promotes spindleturnover. Implicated in formation of bipolar mitotic spindles. Hasmicrotubule depolymerization activity. [1-3]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Anti-viral [4]
Infected TissueLung Infection Time7-9 Days
Infected CellCalu-3 Cells (Human epithelial cell line) Cellosaurus IDCVCL_0609 
Method DescriptionTo detect the role of host protein KIF2A in viral infection, KIF2A protein knockout Calu-3 Cells were infected with SARS-COV-2 for 7 - 9 Days , and the effects on infection was detected through CRISPR-based genome-wide gene-knockout screen.
ResultsIt is reported that knockout of KIF2A increases SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
