WHAT DOES DYNEIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

dynein

Dynein

Dynein is a motor protein in cells which converts the chemical energy contained in ATP into the mechanical energy of movement. Dynein transports various cellular cargo by "walking" along cytoskeletal microtubules towards the minus-end of the microtubule, which is usually oriented towards the cell center. Thus, they are called "minus-end directed motors." This form of transport is known as retrograde transport. In contrast, kinesins, which are motor proteins that move toward the microtubules' plus end, are called plus-end directed motors.

Definition of dynein in the English dictionary

The definition of dynein in the dictionary is a type of protein present in cells that changes chemical energy into motor energy.
