A kinesin is a protein complex belonging to a class of motor proteins found in eukaryotic cells. Kinesins move along microtubule (MT) filaments and are powered by the hydrolysis of …

Jul 25, 2025 · Discover kinesins, the remarkable molecular motors that orchestrate precise movement and organization crucial for all cellular activities.

Oct 11, 2024 · Kinesins are a diverse superfamily of microtubule-based motors that perform fundamental roles in intracellular transport, cytoskeletal dynamics and cell division.

Jul 19, 2023 · Kinesins are biological motor proteins that are ATP-dependent and function to assist cells with the transport of molecules along microtubules. Simply put, these proteins, …

This review focuses on kinesin enzymology with special emphasis on the literature that reports the chemistry, structure and physics of several different kinesin molecular motors.

Kinesin is defined as a microtubule-based motor protein that transports vesicles or organelles toward the plus end of microtubules, with its motility driven by structural changes linked to ATP …

These functions are conveyed by microtubule motor proteins that belong to the kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs). Most kinesins (kinesin 1–12) have the conserved motor domains, …

Kinesin is a molecular motor protein that uses energy from ATP hydrolysis to drive the movement of various cargo along microtubules within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.

Kinesins are used for many tasks in cells. Typical cells contain an array of microtubules, all pointed from the center of the cell outwards to the surface. Kinesins are used to drag large …

Jul 29, 2025 · Webb, Toporova and colleagues identify a β-hairpin motif in the kinesin-2 family, which controls motility by sequestering the motor domains from their microtubule track. Kinesin …
