Document Summary

Protein that interacts with actin monomers or filaments to control the assembly, structure, and behavior of actin filaments and networks. Thin, flexible protein filament made from a chain or globular actin molecules; a major constituent of all eukaryotic cells, this cytoskeletal element is essential for cell movement and for the contraction of muscle cells. Specialized layer of cytoplasm on the inner face of the plasma membrane. In animal cells, it is rich in the actin filaments that govern cell shape and drive cell movement. Cylindrical array of microtubules usually found in pairs at the center of a centrosome in animal cells. Also found at the base of cilia and flagella, where they are called basal bodies. Microtubule-organizing center that sits near the nucleus in an animal cell; during the cell cycle, this structure duplicates to form the two poles of the mitotic spindle.
