Zw10 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in several processes, including establishment of mitotic spindle orientation; mitotic metaphase chromosome alignment; and regulation of mitotic cell cycle phase transition. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including kinetochore; lipid droplet; and spindle. Predicted to be part of Dsl1/NZR complex and RZZ complex. Orthologous to human ZW10 (zw10 kinetochore protein). [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 Zw10 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
