Taok1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including myosin V binding activity; protein kinase binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity. Involved in protein phosphorylation; regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization; and regulation of microtubule cytoskeleton organization. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including microtubule cytoskeleton; nuclear body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human TAOK1 (TAO kinase 1). [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 Taok1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
