Kifc3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and microtubule binding activity. Acts upstream of or within Golgi organization and microtubule-based process. Located in Golgi apparatus. Part of kinesin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; liver and biliary system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human KIFC3 (kinesin family member C3). [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 Kifc3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
