KASH5 Gene Summary [Human]
Predicted to enable dynein complex binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cytoskeleton organization; homologous chromosome segregation; and spindle localization. Predicted to act upstream of or within double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; oogenesis; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be part of meiotic nuclear membrane microtubule tethering complex. Predicted to be active in chromosome; meiotic spindle pole; and nuclear outer membrane.

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 human KASH5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
