KIF3C (green) motors apically along microtubules (red).
As microtubules in polarized cells extend their minus ends apically, the authors cloned and characterized KIFC3, a putative minus-end–directed microtubule motorprotein uncovered in an earlier search for novel kinesins. KIFC3 is concentrated on membrane organelles near the apical plasma membrane of polarized epithelial cells, colocalizing with annexin XIIIb, a membrane protein found in...
