Microfilament (medicine)


microfilament
<cell biology> Cytoplasmic filament of F actin (5-7nm) which function in structure and movement in eukaryotic cells.

They may be laterally associated with other proteins (tropomyosin, alpha actinin) in some cases and may be anchored to the membrane. Microfilaments are conspicuous in adherens junctions.
