Ndc80 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables cyclin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including kinetochore organization; meiosis I cell cycle process; and skeletal muscle satellite cell proliferation. Located in centrosome; cytoplasm; and kinetochore. Orthologous to human NDC80 (NDC80 kinetochore complex component). [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 Ndc80 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
