Nuf2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity. Predicted to be involved in kinetochore organization; mitotic spindle organization; and nuclear chromosome segregation. Predicted to be located in cytosol; kinetochore; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Ndc80 complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in castration-resistant prostate carcinoma and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human NUF2 (NUF2 component of NDC80 kinetochore complex).

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 rat Nuf2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
