Kif2b Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; microtubule binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including metaphase chromosome alignment; microtubule depolymerization; and regulation of chromosome segregation. Predicted to be located in intercellular bridge; mitotic spindle; and nucleolus. Predicted to be part of kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and microtubule cytoskeleton. Orthologous to human KIF2B (kinesin family member 2B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Kif2b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Kinesin motor, catalytic domain
- microtubule binding
- Myosin and Kinesin motor domain
