When domestiques rebel: kinesins, cadherins and neuronal proliferation

Cara J. Gottardi1, Nicole R. den Elzen2 & Alpha S. Yap2

Conditional knockout of the KAP3 subunit from the kinesin motor KIF3 alters tissue patterning and causes abnormal proliferation of neural progenitor cells in the mouse brain. Impaired transport of N-cadherin to the surface of these cells may be one explanation for how such defects arise.
