Kif26a Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including nervous system development; regulation of cell growth by extracellular stimulus; and regulation of neuron migration. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations. Orthologous to human KIF26A (kinesin family member 26A). [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 rat Kif26a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
