| - | + | Kinesin is an ATP-dependent motor protein responsible for the transportation of cargo. It is a heterotetramer composed of light and heavy chains. | |
| - | + | ||

| + | * Involved in cell replication and axonal signaling | ||
| - | + | == '''Disease''' == | |
| + | *Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT): Charcot Marie Tooth is one of many diseases that affect the peripheral nervous system. Individuals may suffer physical disabilities due to weakness in transmission of signals firing from the central nervous system | ||

Upon the binding of phosphate to ADP, ATP is formed giving Kinesin the energy needed to move the cargo one step a head to its destination <scene name='75/752263/Atp_binding_site/5'> ATP-binding site </scene> |

You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes. | ||
