Ndc80 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including cyclin binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and kinetochore adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in attachment of mitotic spindle microtubules to kinetochore; microtubule cytoskeleton organization involved in mitosis; and positive regulation of mitotic cell cycle spindle assembly checkpoint. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including centrosome duplication; meiosis I cell cycle process; and skeletal muscle satellite cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including centrosome; kinetochore; and nuclear speck. Predicted to be part of Ndc80 complex. Orthologous to human NDC80 (NDC80 kinetochore complex component). [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 Ndc80 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
