Kinesin-2 motors mediate anterograde intraflagellar transport (IFT) of IFT particles from the ciliary base to its tip, where particles are remodelled before retrograde transport by dynein 2 motors. Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) and IFT-A proteins are now implicated in regulation of IFT assembly at the ciliary base and tip.
