KIF20A/MKLP2 regulates the division modes of neural progenitor cells during cortical development

The division of neural progenitors is closely regulated but how is unclear. Here, the authors show that mitotic kinesin KIF20A/MKLP2 interacts with a regulator of G protein signaling RGS3 in neural progenitor cells, dislodging it from the intercellular bridge of dividing cortical cells.
