Kif9 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; identical protein binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including extracellular matrix disassembly; regulation of flagellated sperm motility; and regulation of podosome assembly. Predicted to be located in podosome; sperm flagellum; and vesicle. Predicted to be part of kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and microtubule. Orthologous to human KIF9 (kinesin family member 9). [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 Kif9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
