title: Cellular roles of kinesin and related proteins.
abstract: Kinesin is but one member of a large superfamily of microtubule-based motor proteins. This diverse group of motors drives a number of essential subcellular movements, including transport of membranous organelles and mitotic spindle functions. Recent observations have revealed examples of functional cooperativity and antagonism between different kinesin-related motors.
