Actin Binding Protein (ABP)

Actin is an essential component of the cytoskeleton and plays a crucial role in eukaryotic cells. The actin cytoskeleton functions in the generation and maintenance of cell morphology and polarity, in endocytosis and intracellular trafficking, in contractility, motility and cell division. In cells, the assembly and disassembly of actin filaments, and also their organisation into functional higher...

The Cytoskeleton : Intermediate Filament

Intermediate FilamentsUltrastructural and immunocytochemical investigations reveal that a third major filamentous structure is present in eukaryotic cells. In addition to the thin (actin) and thick (myosin) filaments, cells contain a class of intermediate-sized filaments with an average diameter of 10–12 nm. Several proteins that form intermediate filaments have been isolated and localized by immunocytochemical...

The Cytoskeleton : Actin Filament

Contractile activity in muscle cells results primarily from an interaction between two proteins: actin and myosin. Actin is present in muscle as a thin (5–7 nm in diameter) filament composed of globular subunits organized into a double-stranded helix. Structural and biochemical studies reveal that there are several types of actin and that this protein is present in all cells.Within cells, microfilaments...

The Cytoskeleton : Microtubule

The cytoplasmic cytoskeleton is a complex network of microtubules, actin filaments (microfilaments), and intermediate filaments. These structural proteins provide for the shaping of cells and also play an important role in the movements of organelles and intracytoplasmic vesicles. The cytoskeleton also participates in the movement of entire cells.MicrotubulesWithin the cytoplasmic matrix of eukaryotic...

The cytoskeleton is unique to eukaryotic cells. It is a dynamic three-dimensional structure that fills the cytoplasm. This structure acts as both muscle and skeleton, for movement and stability. The long fibers of the cytoskeleton are polymers of subunits. The primary types of fibers comprising the cytoskeleton are microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments.Microfilaments...
