This contrasts with dynein, which is another member of the of cytoskeletal motor protein family that transports its cargo towards the minus end of the microtubule. Structurally, kinesin exists as ...

Mitochondrial transport is driven by molecular motor proteins: dynein proteins, which are responsible for retrograde movement, and kinesin proteins, which are responsible for anterograde movement.

The article provides a comprehensive comparison of anterograde and retrograde viral and non-viral tracers for neural circuit analysis and describe neural circuit tracing history and background.
