The Mystery Parts of How The Proteins Work in Brain!

June 11th 2009 14:05
Guys, have you ever wondered, “How do the proteins take the orders and work accordingly in our body?” Well, I remembered that I used to ask this question on my nana (She’d been passed away more than 20 years) and I got the answer, “Well, Willy (My nana used to call me “Willy”) believe it or not, human body’s a very complicated part, and it has many things that cannot be explained by science at all!”

“Oh, is this means it has no explanation for it, nana?”

“Maybe it’s not for now, but it might be revealed in the future, Willy!”

Although my nana is a very experienced biology teacher in the 80’s, but she still cannot figure out the answer for this question. In other case, she was right about it, as the answer is finally revealed after two decades…


Don Arnold, the molecular and computational biologist at USC College has figured out that proteins will be given specify encoded information by the brain, before they’re heading to the final destination in the cell.



For your information, each neuron has dendrites and axons. The dendrites are responsible for receiving signals while the axons are in charge of sending the signals to other cells. Proteins is to be found travelled in bubbles and powered by motors named, “kinesins”.

Arnold has been discovered that the kinesis is able to carry both types of proteins (Dendritic proteins and axonal proteins) towards the axons in the same time!

Hence, 99.99% of the proteins will go to the exactly place, once it accept order from the main brain! It’s impossible that the proteins went to the wrong place, so you don’t have to worry about it at all.


PS: Nana, thanks for the words. You’re right here, as the question has been unveiled after 20 years of time! I’ll always missed you…

By the way, picture thanks to medicalgeek.

Interesting post! The motors are called 'kinesins' instead of 'kinesis'.

Thanks for the reminder, Heather. I've already changed it!

you know what, these proteins can make or break the nervous system...as for example excessive amyloid plaques or defective tau proteins can cause alzheimer's disease...i hope you don't mind clipping my link HERE...it's ok if you won't allow...hehe
