Enables microtubule motor activity and microtubule plus-end binding activity. Involved in establishment of meiotic spindle orientation; meiotic chromosome segregation; and positive regulation of microtubule polymerization. Part of kinesin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including anlage in statu nascendi; central brain anlage; central brain anlage in statu nascendi; central brain primordium; and ganglia.
FB Description
no distributive disjunction (nod) encodes a kinesin-like protein that is important for nonexchange chromosome biology. The nod product is necessary for chromosome segregation during meiosis and for proper chromosome alignment along the meiotic spindle.
