Scope note: Proteínas filamentosas que son el principal componente de los filamentos delgados de las fibras musculares. Los filamentos (conocidos también como actina filamentosa o actina F) pueden disociarse en sus subunidades globulares, cada una de las cuales está compuesta por un solo polipéptido de 375 aminoácidos. Esto se conoce como actina globular o actina G. La actina, junto con las MIOSINAS, es responsable de la contracción y relajación muscular.

Scope note: Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers. The filaments (known also as filamentous or F-actin) can be dissociated into their globular subunits; each subunit is composed of a single polypeptide 375 amino acids long. This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.
