Kif3c Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; cytoskeletal protein binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule-based movement and positive regulation of neuron projection development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including microtubule plus-end; neuronal ribonucleoprotein granule; and synaptic vesicle. Predicted to be part of kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and microtubule. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human KIF3C (kinesin family member 3C). [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 mouse Kif3c often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
