Table 1.

Experimentally determined transport ranges and known/hypothesized transport types (adapted from Brown (Brown, 2000)).

Transport Type Velocity (mm/day) Velocity (μm/s) Example Cargo Type(s)
Fast
 --Anterograde 200–400 2.31–4.63 Golgi-derived vesicles, tubules, neurotransmitters
 --Retrograde 200–400 2.31–4.63 enodosomes, lysosomes
 --Bidirectional 50–100 0.58–1.16 mitochondria
Slow
 --Component A 0.3–3 0.003–0.035 neurofilaments
 --Component B 2–8 0.02–0.08 microfilaments, actin
