The 21 pages that link to Myosin, each with the reason it gives.

• Skeletal muscleBroader topic: Myosin heads generate force by cycling against actin within skeletal muscle sarcomeres.

• Adenosine triphosphateRelated: Myosin hydrolyzes ATP during the force-generating cycle of muscle contraction.

• ATPRelated: ATP binding and hydrolysis change myosin’s interactions with actin during each cycle.

• Muscle contractionRelated: Its heads bind actin and produce the strokes that drive contraction.

• Smooth muscleRelated: Smooth-muscle myosin generates force after its regulatory light chains are phosphorylated.

• ActinRelated: Myosin converts actin binding into movement and force, including muscle contraction.

• CytoskeletonBroader topic: Myosin converts actin organization into contraction, transport, and cell movement.
