Function
Kinesin is generally responsible for the transport of polypeptides and other large molecules throughout a single cell, such as moving the spindles during cell division. Kinesin can only move from the negative (-) end of microtubules to the positive (+) end. This means that kinesin only moves objects out towards the periphery of the cell and thus aids in the secretion of molecules or division of cells.
Disease
Kinesin are involved during mitosis, failure of kinesin to work properly can lead to trisomy and other meiosis/mitosis related diseases.
