Myosins comprise a family of ATP-dependent motor proteins and are best known for their role in muscle contraction and their involvement in a wide range of other eukaryotic motility processes. They are responsible for actin-based motility. The term was originally used to describe a group of similar ATPases found in striated and smooth muscle cells....

One of the two major protein constituents responsible for contraction of muscle. In muscle cells myosin is arranged in long filaments called thick filaments that lie parallel to the microfilaments of actin. In muscle contraction, filaments of actin alternately chemically link and unlink with those o...

A family of motor ATPases that interact with F-actin filaments. An increasing number of different myosins are being described. Classical striated muscle myosin is myosin II. (See also myosin light chains, meromyosin.) Myosin I is a low molecular weight (111 -128kD) form found in protozoa ( Acanthamoeba and Dictyostelium ) that does not self-assemble and is found in the cytoplasm as a globular monomeric molecule that can associate with membranes and transport membrane vesicles along microfilaments.
