Abstract
Cellular motors (kinesin, dynein and myosin) are ubiquitous. A major task in cell biology is to determine how they function in cells. Here we focus on myosin 10, an intrafilopodial motor, and show how imaging green fluorescent protein fused to myosin 10 or its tail domains can help us understand the function of this myosin.
