Dynein
From Proteopedia
Dynein is a motor protein which walks along the microtubule toward its minus end, i.e. it is a minus-end directed motor. Dyneins are classified as cytoplasmic (DYNC) or axonemal. The Dyneins are composed of heavy, intermediate and light chains. For discussion of the DYNC inter mediate and light chains see: Dynein light and intermediate chain.
