How do neurons transport proteins? A new study reveals that Kinesin-2 motor subtypes regulate cargo specificity.
Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations.
Molecular motors such as kinesin are essential cellular machines that convert the chemical energy of ATP hydrolysis into mechanical work. These proteins enable the directed transport of vesicles, ...
For decades, scientists have known that motor proteins like kinesin-2 ferry vital cargo along microtubule "highways" inside cells. But how these molecular vehicles identify and bind to the right cargo ...
