Kif22 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; microtubule binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule-based movement; mitotic metaphase chromosome alignment; and sister chromatid cohesion. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including chromatin; mitotic spindle; and nuclear speck. Predicted to be part of kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and microtubule. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity type 2. Orthologous to human KIF22 (kinesin family member 22). [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 Kif22 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
