A protein called Costal was known to be part of this pathway, but for many years its function was unknown, and it was assumed to be an adaptor protein. However, recent studies have identified the following properties of Costal: It can bind microtubules, it can move along microtubules, it can bind other proteins in the SHH pathway and move them throughout the cell, and it requires ATP to move along microtubules. Based on this new information, what kind of protein do you think Costal is

Kinesins move along microtubule (MT) filaments, and are powered by the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which means kinesins are ATPases. Active movement of kinesins supports several cellular functions like mitosis, meiosis and transport of cellular cargo, such as in axonal transport.

Answer:

"Motor Protein"

Explanation:

Costal could be a motor protein because it changes to the micro-tubules and utilized adenosine triphosphate and conjointly interrelates with alternative of SHH pathway protein. Therefore Costal could be a motor Protein that supports in translocation of particles of SHH pathway. Moreover, Costal Protein fits to the protein family of kinesin. It fits to the category of motor protein, which Changes in eukaryotes with the help of adenosine triphosphate
