Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Motor proteins are indeed specific to the type of filament they move along. For example, myosin moves along actin filaments, while kinesin and dynein move along microtubules. Melanin granules would require a specific motor protein that interacts with actin filaments if they were to move along them.
