Kif23 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; microtubule binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including mitotic cytokinesis; mitotic spindle midzone assembly; and positive regulation of cytokinesis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Flemming body; intercellular bridge; and microtubule cytoskeleton. Predicted to be part of centralspindlin complex and kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; microtubule; and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type IIIa. Orthologous to human KIF23 (kinesin family member 23). [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 Kif23 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
