| rdfs:comment | - In muscle, actin is the major component of thin filaments, which, together with the motor protein myosin (which forms thick filaments), are arranged into actomyosin myofibrils. These fibrils comprise the mechanism of muscle contraction. Using the hydrolysis of ATP for energy, myosin heads undergo a cycle during which they attach to thin filaments, exerting a tension, and then depending on the load, perform a power stroke that causes the thin filaments to slide past, shortening the muscle.
- Actin is a protein that can form the part of the cytoskeleton, microfilaments. It has been found in most eukaryotic cells, so they are very common. It is encoded by the actin gene.
