The kinesin superfamily consists of a group of conserved microtubule-dependent molecular motor proteins, which possess adenosine triphosphatase activity and motility properties. The active motility of kinesins is crucial for supporting diverse cellular functions, such as mitosis, meiosis, and macromolecular transport. Mitosis, the process of eukaryotic cell division, involves the partitioning of the nucleus, cytoplasm, organelles, and cell membrane into two daughter cells with approximately identical components. Any aberration during this process can give rise to cell death, genetic anomalies (e.g., gene deletions, chromosomal translocations, or duplications), and cancer. Given the complexity and highly regulated nature of mitosis, changes in kinesin expression or function may trigger carcinogenesis. Moreover, as human cancer is a gene-related disorder characterized by abnormal cell growth, targeting kinesins could potentially offer a novel strategy for cancer control.
