zen-4 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables several functions, including identical protein binding activity; microtubule binding activity; and plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Involved in several processes, including nuclear division; pronuclear migration; and regulation of actomyosin contractile ring contraction. Located in cleavage furrow; microtubule cytoskeleton; and midbody. Part of centralspindlin complex. Expressed in germ cell and gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type III. Is an ortholog of human KIF23 (kinesin family member 23).
