Phosphorylation of Kif26b promotes its polyubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation during kidney development.

Kif26b, a member of the kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs), is essential for kidney development. Kif26b expression is restricted to the metanephric mesenchyme, and its transcription is regulated by a zinc finger transcriptional regulator Sall1.
