Left-Right Asymmetry and Kinesin Superfamily Protein KIF3A: New Insights in Determination of Laterality and Mesoderm Induction by kif3A−/− Mice Analysis

Takeda, Sen, Yonekawa, Yoshiaki, Tanaka, Yosuke, Okada, Yasushi, Nonaka, Shigenori, Hirokawa, Nobutaka

KIF3A is a classical member of the kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs), ubiquitously expressed although predominantly in neural tissues, and which forms a heterotrimeric KIF3 complex with KIF3B or...

Role of KIFC3 motor protein in Golgi positioning and integration

Xu, Ying, Takeda, Sen, Nakata, Takao, Noda, Yasuko, Tanaka, Yosuke, Hirokawa, Nobutaka

KIFC3, a microtubule (MT) minus end–directed kinesin superfamily protein, is expressed abundantly and is associated with the Golgi apparatus in adrenocortical cells. We report here that disruption...

Kinesin Superfamily Protein 3 (Kif3) Motor Transports Fodrin-Associating Vesicles Important for Neurite Building

Takeda, Sen, Yamazaki, Hiroto, Seog, Dae-Hyun, Kanai, Yoshimitsu, Terada, Sumio, Hirokawa, Nobutaka

Kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs) comprise several dozen molecular motor proteins. The KIF3 heterotrimer complex is one of the most abundantly and ubiquitously expressed KIFs in mammalian cells. To...

Histochemical Analysis of Renal Dysplasia with Ureteral Atresia

Kawate, Toyoko, Kawamura, Ryuki, Uchida, Takenori, Takahashi, Kyosuke, Hasegawa, Tomohiro, Futamata, Haruo, ...

Unilateral small kidney with ureteral obstruction was discovered in a 74-year-old female cadaver during an anatomical dissection course. In order to elucidate the histogenesis of renal dysplasia, we...
