The video depicts a kinesin motor protein pulling a vesicle full of cargo, such as proteins, across a microtubule filament. Eukaryotic cells contain many membrane-bound organelles, such as the Golgi apparatus, which the vesicles recognize with their membrane proteins and fuse into the target organelle’s membrane.
