Distinguishing synaptic vesicle precursor navigation of microtubule ends with a single rate constant model

Abstract Axonal motor driven cargo utilizes the microtubule cytoskeleton in order to direct cargo, such as synaptic vesicle precursors (SVP), to where they are needed. This transport requires vesicles to travel up to microns in distance. It has recently been observed that finite microtubule lengths...
