Abstract excerpt
Intracellular transport is essential for neuronal function and survival. The most effective plus-end-directed neuronal transporter is the kinesin-3 KIF1C, which transports large secretory vesicles and endosomes.1-4 Mutations in KIF1C cause hereditary spastic paraplegia and cerebellar dysfunction in human patients.5-8 In contrast to other kinesin-3s, KIF1C is a stable dimer and a highly processive motor in its...
