Actin is found in muscle tissue ( along with myosin) and makes up microfilaments which are responsible for cellular movement and also function in cell division.

What shape is the protein actin?
Actin is a globular molecule
Does protein make actin and myosin?
Actin and myosin are proteins. Protein is a broad category of molecules.
What are the names of protein filaments in a muscle fiber?
Actin Filaments
What is the protein actin?
penis
Microfilaments are made from a ball shaped protein called?
Actin
what is the role of microfilaments?
Microfilaments assist with cell movement and are made of a protein called actin. Actin works with another protein called myosin to produce muscle movements, cell division, and cytoplasmic streaming. Microfilaments keep organelles in place within the cell.
What is the name of the regulatory protein?
myosin and actin
What is the role of the structure?
structural role of protein is to form a lot of structural actin myosin unit of skeletl muscle as well as serve as enzyme for different metabolic processes
What are actin fibers?
Actin is a contractile protein fibers present in muscles.It occurs in two forms a.monomeric G actin b. polymeric F ACTIN.
Are actin and myosin structural proteins?
In addition to providing structural support, actin filaments are involved in movement when they interact with the specialized protein myosin. Myosin is a motor protein that converts the chemical energy in ATP into the mechanical work of movement. The interaction between actin and myosin that produces movement: When ATP binds to themyosin and is then hydrolyzed to ADP, the "head" region of the myosin molecule binds to the actin filament on the slide. The movement of this protein causes the ctin filament to slide. This type of movement is analogous to a line of people who are passing along a long log or pole, the people are myosin molecules; the log is the is the actin.
What is the chemical makeup of actin and myosin?
Protein.
What are the contractile protein of muscle?
Actin and Myosin
