Kif16b Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; phosphatidylinositol phosphate binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Golgi to endosome transport; cell surface receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway; and early endosome to late endosome transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to type II interferon. Predicted to be located in early endosome; phagocytic vesicle; and spindle. Predicted to be part of kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and microtubule. Orthologous to human KIF16B (kinesin family member 16B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Kif16b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
