  1. Kinesin - Wikipedia

    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 …

  2. What is Kinesin? - News-Medical.net

    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, …

  3. What Are Kinesins and What Do They Do? - Biology Insights

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

  4. Mechanism and regulation of kinesin motors - Nature

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

  5. Kinesin, 30 years later: Recent insights from structural studies

    Motile kinesins are motor proteins that move unidirectionally along microtubules as they hydrolyze ATP. The first kinesin was discovered 30 years ago 1,2; since then many more were identified, …

  6. Kinesin Definition - Anatomy and Physiology I Key Term | Fiveable

    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.

  7. Kinesin: Fundamental Properties and Structure - Springer

    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, …

  8. Kinesin - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

    Kinesin is a superfamily of microtubule-based motor proteins that play a fundamental role in intracellular transport within neurons, enabling the movement of organelles, vesicles, proteins, …

  9. PDB-101: Molecule of the Month: Kinesin

    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 …

  10. Kinesin-1 coordinates cross-talk between microtubule and actin ...

    Oct 17, 2025 · Here, we leveraged cKO Kif5b mice to show that kinesin-1 regulates efficient DC migration in vivo and in vitro. Our results show that kinesin-1 coordinates a cytoskeletal cross …
