text: In principle, the minus end should be more inclined to undergo depolymerization than the quicker growing plus end, because the minus end would be expected to lose its GTP-cap more readily and frequently than the plus end; however, experimental evidence indicates that the opposite is true (Horio and Hotani, 1986; Walker et al., 1988).
text: Conversely, the minus end typically is either protected by proteins or anchored to a cellular structure, and can easily undergo depolymerization when naked (Akhmanova & Hoogenraad, 2015).
