NAV1
Description
The NAV1 (neuron navigator 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
Neuron navigator 1 is a protein encoded by the NAV1 gene in humans. It belongs to the neuron navigator family and is primarily expressed in the nervous system. The protein contains coiled-coil domains and a conserved AAA domain, typical of ATPases involved in various cellular activities. This gene shares similarity with unc-53, a Caenorhabditis elegans gene implicated in axon guidance. The precise function of this gene remains unknown.
May be involved in neuronal migration.
NAV1 is also known as POMFIL3, STEERIN1, UNC53H1.
