vab-8 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; microtubule binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Involved in several processes, including egg-laying behavior; generation of neurons; and negative regulation of motor neuron migration. Located in striated muscle thin filament. Expressed in body wall musculature and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations. Is an ortholog of human KIF26A (kinesin family member 26A) and KIF26B (kinesin family member 26B).
