A protein present in muscle, serving as the principle contractile protein in muscle contraction.
the contractile protein making up the thick myofilaments of muscle fibers (cells)
a fibrous globulin of muscle that splits ATP and reacts with actin to form actomyosin.
Motor protein that uses ATP to drive movements along actin filaments. Myosin II is a large protein that forms the thick filaments of skeletal muscle. Smaller myosins, such as myosin I, are widely distributed, and responsible for many actin-based movements within cells.
one of two protein components of myofilaments. J K Y Z
a muscle protein found in the myofibril that is active in muscle contraction.
major protein of contractile mechanism of muscle
Myosin is the primary protein present in thick contractile filaments in muscle. (the H-zone of the A-band in skeletal muscle contains only myosin.)
Protein filaments that, along with actin, allow muscles to contract.
A vital protein component of muscle, one of the proteins responsible for muscle contraction.
a protein contained in striated muscle responsible for contraction; slides along filaments of actin, generating force using ATP as its energy source.
a protein microfilament that comprises the sarcomere of muscle cells.
One of the two main contractile proteins in a muscle fiber.
Any of a superfamily of motor proteins (17 classes identified so far) present in probably all eukaryotic cells. They bind to actin and use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to generate force and movement along actin filaments.
protein within each muscle cell which is involved in the normal contraction of the muscle. It has been discovered that the gene which produces myosin is abnormal in some families with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
The protein component of thick filaments.
A family of motor ATPases that interact with F-actin filaments.
the commonest protein in muscle; a globulin that combines with actin to form actomyosin
Myosin is a contractile protein that interacts with the protein actin to bring about contraction of muscle or cell movement. Myosin is present in the myofibrils of the muscles.
A protein that often acts together with actin to produce cell or organelle movements.
Thick contractile protein in a myofibril which overlaps with actin to produce contractions.
A protein that along with actin helps the muscle contract and produce tension and work.
The protein that makes up the thick filaments and cross bridges in muscle fibers.
The protein that makes up the thick filaments of a myofibril. ATP hydrolysis by myosin provides the energy to drive filament sliding during muscle contraction.
Protein that is one of the basic working units of the myofibril (along with actin). Elascicity and contractility are important properties of this abundant protein in muscle fibrils.
Contractile protein that is very prevalent in muscle
adenosinetriphosphatase, ... ATP phosphohydrolase (actin translocating), ... ATPase
Larger of the two proteins involved in the contraction of muscle. Compare actin.
Myosins are a large family of motor proteins found in eukaryotic tissues. They are responsible for actin-based motility.
