Dynein Motor Protein -Dyneinsare microtubule motors capable of a sliding movement. -Dyneincomplexes are much larger and more complex than kinesin and myosin motors. -Dyneinfacilitates the movement of cilia and flagella.
Dynein Motor Protein continued… -One type of Dynein motor protein is found in fungi. -Thirteen different types of Dynein motor proteins are found in insects. -Fourteen to Fifteen different Dynein motor proteins are found in humans. http://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video;_ylt=A0PDoTB9DuBONgkAtVqJzbkF?p=Dynein+protein+motor&fr=&fr=yfp-t-701-17&fr2=
Kinesin Motor Protein Flowering plants have an abundance of Kinesin Motor Proteins. Kinesin Motor Proteins specialize in the mitosis of plant cells.
