Cell Biology Lesson: Cytoskeleton III: Microfilament Author Name microfilament Microfilament definition: a minute, narrow tubelike cell structure composed of a protein similar to actin, occurring singly and in bundles, microfilament Microfilament Continuous filament yarn with a dpf value inferior to 1 Characterised by an improvement in the feel of the fabric and resulting increased

microfilament Specifically, the actin subunits that come together to form a microfilament are called globular actin , and once they are joined

microfilament microfilament system The plasticity of this chemo-mechanical transduction system is regulated by a large number of diverse proteins The filaments also enable a dividing cell to pinch off into two cells and are involved in amoeboid movements of certain types of cells Microfilament Structural
