Research Grants & Projects
Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology: Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research(特別推進研究)
Project Year: 2006 - 2010 Investigator(s): Nobutaka HIROKAWA
Intracellular transport is fundamental for cellular functions in cells in general. We studied this mechanism focusing on the kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs). The primary structures of 13 new KIFs were solved. Using molecular cell biology and m...
