Linked from

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

• 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.

• Cardiac muscleRelated: Myosin cross-bridges pull on actin to shorten cardiac sarcomeres.

• SarcomereRelated: Myosin thick filaments form force-producing cross-bridges with actin.

• Vascular smooth muscleRelated: Smooth-muscle myosin generates the force that narrows or widens vessels.

• Actin filamentRelated: Myosin uses actin filaments as tracks for contraction and transport.

• Congenital myopathyRelated: Defects in muscle myosin can impair force production from birth.

• Cytoplasmic streamingRelated: Myosin motors drive cytoplasm and attached organelles along actin.
