Katnb1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables dynein complex binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including microtubule cytoskeleton organization; positive regulation of neuron projection development; and regulation of microtubule depolymerization. Located in axon and centrosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and primitive streak. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lissencephaly 6. Orthologous to human KATNB1 (katanin regulatory subunit B1). [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 Katnb1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
