摘要
Kinesins are motor proteins that move cargoes such as vesicles, organelles and chromosomes along microtubules. They are best known for their role in axonal transport and in mitosis. There is a diverse family of kinesins, members of which differ in composition and functions. Roles of kinesins in diseases typically involve defective transport of cell components, transport of pathogens, or cell division.
