Examples of MT depolymerase motors and their distinct features

Motor family (Ref.)	Target direction	Mode of reaching the target	Purpose of ATP hydrolysis
Kinesin-13 (26)	either end of MT	unbiased diffusion	only for depolymerization
Kinesin-8 (26)	only + end of MT	directed walking	for both walking and depolymerization
