Deep dives

The Function of Motor Proteins in the Cell

Motor proteins are crucial for transporting cargo within the cell. They use ATP, the energy currency of the cell, to move along microtubules. Dynein moves towards the negative end of the microtubules, carrying cargo from the periphery to the center of the cell. Kinesin, on the other hand, moves towards the positive end, transporting cargo from the center to the periphery.
