Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The axonal transport is the two-way passage of organelles, proteins, and other materials along the axon. The movement of these molecules toward the soma (up the axon) is called retrograde transport, and movement away from the soma (down the axon) is called anterograde. The retrograde transport uses motor protein called dynein, which binds to microtubule and move along them.
