what are actin filaments edit actin filaments f actin are linear polymers of globular actin g actin subunits and occur as microfilaments in the cytoskeleton and as thin filaments which are part of the contractile apparatus in muscle and nonmuscle cells see contractile bundles
CELLULAR ADHESION MOLECULES 91 Thus, modulation of syndecan expression may be required for the maintenance of some tumors.67 In humans, Ridley et al68 have examined syndecan expression, structure, and function on myeloma cells.
Cell membranes are involved in a variety of cellular processes such as cell adhesion, ion conductivity and cell signalling and serve as the attachment surface for several extracellular structures, including the cell wall, glycocalyx, and intracellular cytoskeleton. Cell membranes can be artificially reassembled.
