loopers

Loopers are specialized enzymes that help myosin proteins, such as myosin V, move along actin filaments within cells. Think of them as guiding or supporting structures that wrap around these motors, preventing unwanted interactions and ensuring smooth, directed movement. By acting as a dynamic track or barrier, loopers improve the efficiency of cellular transport, allowing cargo like organelles or vesicles to travel accurately within the cell. In essence, they facilitate precise, effective movement by organizing and stabilizing the cellular pathways used by motor proteins.
