Caenorhabditis elegans Enables plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Involved in several processes, including cilium organization; dauer entry; and regulation of non-motile cilium assembly. Located in neuronal cell body; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and plasma membrane bounded cell projection. Part of kinesin complex. Expressed in ciliated neurons. Is an ortholog of human KIF17 (kinesin family member 17).
