aktiinikytköksiin
Aktiinikytköksiin refers to the molecular interactions and binding events involving actin filaments, a fundamental component of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells. Actin filaments are dynamic polymers of actin monomers that play crucial roles in cell structure, movement, and internal organization. The regulation of actin dynamics, including polymerization, depolymerization, and cross-linking, is mediated by a vast array of actin-binding proteins (ABPs). These proteins modulate the assembly and disassembly of actin filaments, as well as their organization into various structures such as stress fibers, filopodia, and lamellipodia.
The interactions between ABPs and actin filaments are highly specific and often involve distinct domains within
