Is it possible to use a variable in the right hand side of Kotlin's type casting "is" operator?

Is the below intended operation be achieved in any (common) way in Kotlin?

val dataClass = String::class
if (anotherObject is dataClass) { ... }

I would want to know if it is possible to check for type casting with a variable on the RHS of the is operator. Also any other way of doing this?

There is some concept here that I may have not understood and eventually ended up asking this question here. Please do share any info related to this.
