Kinesins

Kinesins are motor proteins that move along microtubules inside cells, acting like tiny vehicles. They transport essential materials—such as proteins, organelles, and vesicles—from one part of the cell to another, ensuring proper cell function. Using energy from ATP (a molecule that provides power), kinesins "walk" along microtubules in a coordinated way, carrying their cargo efficiently. This process is vital for cell growth, division, and communication. Think of kinesins as cellular delivery workers, keeping the cell organized and functioning smoothly.
