Summary: Predicted 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. Is expressed in Z2; Z3; and germ line. Orthologous to human KIF15 (kinesin family member 15).

What's a GeneRIF?

his phenotype therefore enabled us to identify factors promoting microtubule organization during anaphase, whose contributions are normally undetectable in wild-type worms; we found that SPD-1 (PRC1) bundles microtubules and KLP-18 (kinesin-12) likely sorts those bundles into a functional orientation capable of mediating chromosome segregation.
