Explain why localized expression of kinesin is important during oogenesis?

mRNA localization is particularly important during early development, when many organisms rely on proteins synthesized from maternal mRNAs to guide development until the onset of zygotic transcription. As these mRNAs are present in the egg at fertilization, when and where their protein products are expressed must be regulated post-transcriptionally. Accordingly, numerous maternal mRNAs have been shown to be asymmetrically localized in oocytes and eggs from a broad spectrum of organisms, including echinoderms, ascidians, insects, amphibians and fish. These mRNAs direct the local synthesis of proteins essential for embryonic germ layer specification, axis formation and germline determination.

For this questions: What is the function of kinesin and what does it transport? You mean, what's its function in oogenesis or in general?
