Neuron navigator 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NAV1 gene.This gene belongs to the neuron navigator family and is expressed predominantly in the nervous system. The encoded protein contains coiled-coil domains and a conserved AAA domain characteristic for ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities. This gene is similar to unc-53 a Caenorhabditis elegans gene involved in axon guidance. The exact function of this gene is not known.
