Motor proteins: myosin V--the multi-purpose transport motor.
Studies in yeast and mice suggest that myosin V participates in the directed transport of a number of distinct cargos to polarized regions of the cell; myosin V has also been implicated in the provision of materials for filopodial extension in neurons.
