Proteins, lipids, and neurotransmitters travel 300 mm/day {axon transport}|, away from cell soma. Mitochondria travel 75 mm/day, away from cell soma. Actin microfilaments, glycolytic enzymes, myosin-related polypeptides, calmodulin, and clathrin travel 5 mm/day, away from cell soma. Microtubules and neurofilaments travel 1 mm/day, away from cell soma. Lysozyme breakdown products travel 250 mm/day, back to cell soma. Fast transport uses ATP and kinesin protein along microtubules.
