Kinesin Motor Protein 3D Animation (with Labels)

3D Medical Animation by John Liebler – Kinesin Motor Protein “walking” along a microtubule filament, transporting molecular cargo such as neurotransmitters from one part of the cell to another. (Posted on Facebook) Art of the Cell: Medical & Scientific 3D Animation & Illustration @WaimuWaimu Check out his channel, website, and social media Also check out my biology playlist: The video depicts a kinesin motor protein pulling a vesicle full of cargo, such as proteins, across a microtubule filament. Eukaryotic cells contain many membrane-bound organelles, such as the Golgi apparatus, which the vesicles recognize with their membrane proteins and fuse into the target organelle's membrane.
