Nin Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable microtubule minus-end binding activity. Predicted to be involved in centrosome localization; microtubule cytoskeleton organization; and protein localization. Predicted to act upstream of or within axonogenesis and positive regulation of axonogenesis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including axonal growth cone; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be part of centriolar subdistal appendage and ciliary transition fiber. Predicted to be active in centriole; mitotic spindle pole; and pericentriolar material. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Seckel syndrome 7. Orthologous to human NIN (ninein). [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 rat Nin often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
