What does MYOSIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A protein in muscle that works with actin to make muscle fibres contract.
Myosin forms thick filaments inside muscle cells, and its tiny heads grab and pull on thinner strands of actin, shortening the fibre. This pulling, powered by the energy molecule ATP, is the basis of every voluntary movement and of the beating of the heart. Related forms also move cargo around inside cells that are not muscle at all. The name echoes the Greek word for muscle.
How MYOSIN is used
Biochemistry and physiology; usually paired with actin.
- Myosin and actin slide past each other when a muscle shortens.
- The lab extracted myosin from rabbit muscle.
- Each myosin head binds to the actin strand in turn.
- Heart muscle contains its own special type of myosin.
- A fault in myosin can weaken the heart.
