Kif20a Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule bundle formation; midbody abscission; and regulation of cytokinesis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cleavage furrow; midbody; and mitotic spindle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial restrictive cardiomyopathy 6. Orthologous to human KIF20A (kinesin family member 20A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Kif20a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
