actina

Definition:
Proteínas filamentosas que son el constituyente principal de los filamentos delgados de las fibras de los músculos. Los filamentos (conocidos como filamentosos o F-actina) se pueden disasociar en sus subunidades globulares; cada subunidad está compuesta de un polipéptido de 375 aminoácidos de longitud. Se conoce como G-actina. Junto con la miosina, la actina es responsable de la contracción y relajación de los músculos.
