Abstract excerpt
The axonal transport of synaptic vesicle precursors relies on KIF1A and UNC-104 ortholog motors. In mammals, KIF1Bβ is also responsible for the axonal transport of synaptic vesicle precursors. Mutations in KIF1A and KIF1Bβ lead to a wide range of neuropathies. Although previous studies have revealed the biochemical, biophysical and cell biological properties of KIF1A, and its defects in neurological disorders,...
