In particular, KIFC1, whose role in mitosis has been widely analyzed (Cross & McAinsh, 2014; Hepperla et al, 2014), has also been recently shown to be required for MT minus end‐directed cargo traffic and cell behavior in either normal (Nath et al, 2007; Braun et al, 2016) or cancer cells (De et al, 2009; Grinberg‐Rashi et al, 2009; Patel et al, 2018). This evidence concerns the gene KIFC1 and cancer.
