KATNA1 - katanin p60 (ATPase-containing) subunit A 1
Entrez Gene Name: katanin p60 (ATPase-containing) subunit A 1
Synonyms: KATNA1, p60 KATANIN

Gene Summary

  • Human (11104): Microtubules, polymers of alpha and beta tubulin subunits, form the mitotic spindle of a dividing cell and help to organize membranous organelles during interphase. Katanin is a heterodimer that consists of a 60 kDa ATPase (p60 subunit A 1) and an 80 kDa accessory protein (p80 subunit B 1). The p60 subunit acts to sever and disassemble microtubules, while the p80 subunit targets the enzyme to the centrosome. This gene encodes the p80 subunit. This protein is a member of the AAA family of ATPases. [provided by RefSeq]
  • Rat (292464): p60 ATPase-containing subunit of katanin, a heterodimeric enzyme (together with p80 subunit Katnb1) responsible for severing microtubules from the centrosome [RGD]
