Dynein

A motor protein in cells which uses the energy from ATP to transport cellular cargo along microtubules towards the cell's nucleus.

Microtubules

Hollow, cylindrical fibers consisting of tubulin protein subunits; major components of the cytoskeleton and found in mitotic spindles, cilia, flagella, centrioles, and basal bodies.
