Myosins (/ˈmaɪəsɪn, -oʊ-/) are a
family of
motor proteins best
known for
their roles in
muscle contraction and in a wide
range of
other motility processes...
- the
proteins -
myosin and
actin -
which together have the
capability to contract.
Myosin is
primarily class II in
smooth muscle.
Myosin II

Myosin ATPase (EC 3.6.4.1) is an
enzyme with
systematic name ATP
phosphohydrolase (actin-translocating). This
enzyme catalyses the
following chemical reaction:...
- "ladder"
along which the
myosin filaments "climb" to
generate motion Thick filaments consist primarily of the
protein myosin, that is
responsible for...

Myosin light-chain
kinase also
known as MYLK or MLCK is a serine/threonine-specific
protein kinase that
phosphorylates a
specific myosin light chain, namely...
- of the
important proteins are
myosin,
which forms the
thick filament, and actin,
which forms the thin filament.
Myosin has a long
fibrous tail and a globular...
- The
myosin head is the part of the
thick myofilament made up of
myosin that acts in
muscle contraction, by
sliding over thin
myofilaments of actin. Myosin...

According to the
