A protein, called beta-actin, is implicated in this process of chromatin remodeling. Now, a new study shows that beta-ac-tin does play an essential role in regulating which gene programs are ...

Actin proteins group together to form a network of thin filaments that spread throughout a cell. This actin network is dynamic, meaning that the filaments can either grow or shrink to fit the ...

In all eukaryotic cells, actin proteins come together to form a network of thin filaments that spread throughout the cell. These filaments play a role in the cell’s structure and movement, its ...

This DD-AcGPF1-actin fusion was only stable in the presence of Shield1 (Fig. 3). The ProteoTuner system makes it possible to change the amount of a protein of interest rapidly, so it is possible ...

It also included a protein that Daniel Safer from Penn's Perelman School of Medicine—who has an extensive background with ...

Actin, a family of proteins that help give cells their shape, are abundant throughout the body. F-actin forms filaments that are essential for maintaining cell structure and many other functions.

Conclusions: According to these results, α-actin was the most significant skeletal muscle damage marker analysed and may be an ideal candidate for the identification of all types of myofibre injury, ...
