Question

Which of the following is true of kinesin?

Kinesin is an intermediate filament protein.
Kinesin moves vesicles toward the minus end of microtubules.
Kinesin hydrolyzes ATP.
Kinesin moves vesicles toward the plus end of actin filaments.

Answer 1

Kinesins moving along microtubules usually carry cargo such as organelles and vesicles from the center of a cell to its periphery. Dyneins are important in sliding microtubules relative to one other during the beating of cilia and flagella on the surfaces of some eukaryotic cells.
