Examples of actomyosin
actomyosin
RhoA supports a basal level of actomyosin-based contractility resulting in a forward movement.

Pericyte actomyosin-mediated contraction at the cell-material interface can modulate the microvascular niche.

The sound produced by a muscle comes from the shortening of actomyosin filaments along the axis of the muscle.

Using actomyosin-based structures called podosomes, dendritic cells probe and remodel extracellular matrix topographical cues.

Here we reveal how the integrity and dynamics of protrusive cores and adhesive rings are coordinated by the actomyosin apparatus.

In contrast, mesenchymal migration required the formation of protrusions at the leading edge and actomyosin-mediated retraction of the trailing edge.

Both components synergistically increase the actomyosin-based contraction, leading to growth cone collapse, therefore preventing type I SGN from targeting the OHCs.

- A protein complex in muscle fibers; composed of myosin and actin; shortens when stimulated and causes muscle contractions
- Myofibrils (obsolete term: sarcostyles) are cylindrical organelles. They are found within muscle cells. They are bundles of actomyosin filaments that run from one end of the cell to the other and are attached to the cell surface membrane at each end.
- The system of actin and myosin that, with other substances, constitutes muscle fiber and is responsible for muscular contraction.
- The protein complex formed when actin and myosin interact at the cross-bridge. At rigor-mortis this interaction is permanent.
