Kinesin-8 is a plus-end-directed dimeric kinesin with an internal motor domain (Loughlin et al. 2008) that can depolymerize stable microtubuless specifically at their plus-ends (Pereira et al. 1997) in a length-dependent manner (Varga et al. 2006). Human kinesin-8 KIF18A is believed to promote chromosome congression by attenuating chromosome oscillation magnitudes (Stumpff et al. 2008).
