Term Information

Accession: GO:0005884
Name: actin filament
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: microfilament
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A filamentous structure formed of a two-stranded helical polymer of the protein actin and associated proteins. Actin filaments are a major component of the contractile apparatus of skeletal muscle and the microfilaments of the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells. The filaments, comprising polymerized globular actin molecules, appear as flexible structures with a diameter of 5-9 nm. They are organized into a variety of linear bundles, two-dimensional networks, and three dimensional gels. In the cytoskeleton they are most highly concentrated in the cortex of the cell just beneath the plasma membrane. Source: ISBN:0198506732, GOC:mah, PMID:10666339
