Kctd9 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable cullin family protein binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular signal transduction and protein homooligomerization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including NK T cell lineage commitment; natural killer cell activation; and response to virus. Orthologous to human KCTD9 (potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 9). [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 Kctd9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
