Neurosci. 10:169-176(2007). CC -!- FUNCTION: Required for posterior migration of cells and axon CC growth cones during nervous system assembly. Isoform a is required CC for posterior migration of the axon growth cone and the ALM cell CC body. Isoform a may enhance posterior migration by regulating the CC subcellular location or stability of guidance cue receptors such CC as sax-3 and unc-40, promoting their localization to the cell CC surface. Isoform b is specifically required for CAN cell CC migration. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Interacts with unc-51 and unc-73. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. CC -!- ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: CC Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2; CC Name=a; Synonyms=vab-8l; CC IsoId=Q21441-1; Sequence=Displayed; CC Name=b; Synonyms=vab-8s; CC IsoId=Q21441-2; Sequence=VSP_028697, VSP_028698; CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Isoform a/vab-8l is expressed in the AVKR CC neuron. Isoform b/vab-8s is expressed in the CAN cells and in the CC body wall muscle. Also expressed in the motor neurons of the CC ventral nerve cord and additional neurons in the pharynx and head. CC -!- PTM: Phosphorylated by unc-51. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the kinesin-like protein family. KIF26 CC subfamily. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Contains 1 kinesin-motor domain.
