Definition structure function and biogenesis of microfilament?
The definition of a microfilament is a stringy protein found in most cells. The structure of a microfilament is a long, thing string-like protein and its function is to help the cell move. The biogenesis of a microfilament is a protein called actin.
What is an actinin?
An actinin is a microfilament protein which has a function in the attachment of actin fibres in muscle cells.

What is myosin?
Myosins are a large family of motor proteins found in eukaryotic tissues. They are responsible for actin-based motility.
