| - | [[Kinesin|Kinesins]] are eukaryotic motor proteins which move along microtubules<ref>PMID:19773780</ref>. Kinesin (KIF) is a dimer consisting of 2 heavy chains and two light chains. The heavy chain contains the N-terminal globular motor domain (MD) residues 1-375, responsible for the motor activity of kinesin, a central flexible neck linker (FNL) coiled-coil stalk which intertwines to form the dimer and a small globular C-terminal domain which interacts with other proteins like the kinesin light chain. The light chain (KLC) forms the tail region. The KLC contains a cargo binding domain which is called TPR (Tetratricopeptide repeat). The KIFs are named by their gene number. KIF are organized into 14 families | + | [[Kinesin|Kinesins]] are eukaryotic motor proteins which move along microtubules<ref>PMID:19773780</ref>.
