Microtubules are
polymers of
tubulin that form part of the
cytoskeleton and
provide structure and
shape to
eukaryotic cells.
Microtubules can be as long...
- The
microtubule-organizing
center (MTOC) is a
structure found in
eukaryotic cells from
which microtubules emerge.
MTOCs have two main functions: the organization...

composed of
hundreds of proteins.
Microtubules comprise the most
abundant components of the machinery.
Attachment of
microtubules to
chromosomes is mediated...
- In cell biology,
microtubule nucleation is the
event that
initiates de novo
formation of
microtubules (MTs).
These filaments of the
cytoskeleton typically...
- In cell biology,
microtubule-****ociated
proteins (MAPs) are
proteins that
interact with the
microtubules of the
cellular cytoskeleton. MAPs are integral...

microtubule-****ociated
protein tau). They have
roles primarily in
maintaining the
stability of
microtubules in
axons and are abundant...

Actin motors such as
myosin move
along microfilaments through interaction with actin, and
