Definition of Myofilament. Meaning of Myofilament. Synonyms of Myofilament

- Myofilaments are the three protein filaments of myofibrils in muscle cells. The main proteins involved are myosin, actin, and titin. Myosin and actin are...
- actin myofilaments along each other. Each myofibril has a diameter of between 1 and 2 micrometres (μm). The filaments of myofibrils, myofilaments, consist...
- Solar filament, a solar prominence seen against the disc of the sun Myofilament, filaments of myofibrils constructed from proteins Protein filament,...
- part of the troponin protein complex, where it binds to actin in thin myofilaments to hold the actin-tropomyosin complex in place. Troponin I prevents myosin...
- fibers, enhancing stroke work through length-dependent activation of the myofilaments. This process aligns actin and myosin filaments for efficient cross-bridge...
- efficient. This is due to the reduced ability to cross-link actin and myosin myofilaments in over-stretched heart muscle. No diagnostic criteria have been agreed...
- binding sites covered by the troponin-tropomyosin complex on the actin myofilament and allowing the myosin cross-bridges to connect with the actin. Diad...
- myofibrils consisting of long protein chains of myofilaments. There are three types of myofilaments: thin, thick, and elastic that work together to produce...
- muscle myofilaments of myosin and actin slide past each other, pulling the Z-lines together. During an eccentric contraction, the myofilaments slide past...
- muscle contraction to release and the body to relax. Decomposition of the myofilaments occurs between 48 and 60 hours after the peak of rigor mortis, which...
