General Description

Actin is the abundant protein found in many cells which accounts for 10% or more of total protein. Most of the eukaryotic cells shows the presence of actin protein. Outer and inner domains are the two important domains of actin.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Actin is involved in a wide variety of cellular processes like cell migration, phagocytosis, cell polarity and shape. It associates with myosin and aids in muscle contraction. The protein acts as a building block of microfilaments.
