Motors associated with cytoskeletal transport. Microtubules radiate out from their minus end at the MTOC to the periphery of the cell. Both kinesin and dynein travel along microtubules but in opposite directions. Myosin is the only known motor to travel along actin filaments. Motors bind filaments at their head region (HR) whereas their cargo binding domains (CBD) are located distal to the head region.
