Plk5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ATP binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to tumor cell; mitotic spindle organization; and regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle. Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including kinetochore; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleus. Orthologous to human PLK5 (polo like kinase 5 (inactive)). [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 Plk5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
