Legacy_informatione1017 : posterior half thin pale uncoordinated anterior half normal; adult male tail anatomy vestigial; failure of posterior migration of CAN cells; rare animals have normal posterior morphology and one correctly placed CAN cell. ES3 ME0. Similar phenotypes in e1017/Df. NA2 (ct33 (resembles e1017 sometimes abnormal HSN migration)).

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionThe vab-8 gene encodes a novel protein containing an atypical kinesin-like motor domain that is required for many posteriorly-directed cell migrations, as well as axonal outgrowth and pathfinding; vab-8 encodes two protein isoforms: VAB-8S, a novel protein expressed in migrating cells, and VAB-8L, which contains a kinesin-related domain, is expressed in neurons and functions in growth cone migrations; VAB-8 interacts with UNC-51, a serine-threonine kinase also required for axon outgrowth.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003058

Automated_descriptionPredicted 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).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
