Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionklp-18 encodes a kinesin motor protein whose motor domain is most similar to that of the Xenopus and human klp2 proteins; loss of klp-18 activity via RNAi indicates that KLP-18 is required for the assembly of a disordered array of acentrosomal (female meiotic) microtubules into an organized, functional, bipolar spindle; in addition, KLP-18 may also play a role in cortex dynamics during post-meiotic development; antibody staining indicates that during meiosis and mitosis (early embryonic) KLP-18 localizes to: 1) spindles, and especially spindle poles, during prometaphase, metaphase, and early anaphase, and 2) the interzone during late anaphase and telophase; in early embryos, KLP-18 is also seen around the nucleus and cell cortex at sites of cell-cell contact; KLP-18 expression in later embryos and larvae is confined to the germ line which, in adults, stains brightly in both distal and proximal regions.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00006197

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; microtubule binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Involved in meiotic spindle assembly. Located in cell cortex; microtubule; and spindle pole. Expressed in Z2; Z3; and germ line. Is an ortholog of human KIF15 (kinesin family member 15).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
