The video explains the role of kinesin in cellular transport. Kinesins are motor proteins that move cargo along microtubules within cells. They have two feet that walk along these structures, powered by ATP. Kinesins can carry large cargo and work efficiently, even overcoming obstacles with the help of other motor proteins. They play a crucial role in cellular processes, including transport and replication, and can conserve energy when not in use.
