'''Dynein''' is a motor protein which walks along the microtubule toward its minus end, i.e. it is a minus-end directed motor. Dyneins are classified as cytoplasmic (DYNC) or axonemal. The | '''Dynein''' is a motor protein which walks along the microtubule toward its minus end, i.e. it is a minus-end directed motor. Dyneins are classified as cytoplasmic (DYNC) or axonemal. The '''cytoplasmic dyneins''' are composed of heavy, intermediate and light chains. They drive processes like cell migration, spindle organisation and chromosome separation in mitosis. For discussion of the DYNC inter mediate and light chains see: [[Dynein light and intermediate chain]]. '''Axonemal dynein''' has only heavy chain and is involved in cilia and flagella movement. | ||
