    basic FUNCTION
  • retrograde transport motor cytoplasmic involved in axonal transport and in microtubule-based movement
  • playing an unique and important role in the initial events of bipolar spindle formation, while any later roles in mitosis maybe redundant
  • potential role for the dynein tail in motor function, and provide direct evidence for a link between single-motor processivity and disease
    • CELLULAR PROCESS cell cycle, division, mitosis
