Zyxin
Zyxin är ett protein som spelar en viktig roll inom celldelningen, celladhesion och cytoskelettremodelering. Det lokaliseras till de adherens junctioner där aktinskelettet möter cellmembranet och hjälper till att reglera strukturella förändringar i cytoskelettet under olika cellulära processer, såsom cellrörelser och celldelning. Zyxin kan även påverka signalsubråden som är involverade i cellcykeln och tillväxtfaktorrespons.
LIM Domain Proteins
'LIM domain proteins' are a group of transcription factors and signal transduction molecules characterized by the presence of one or more LIM domains, which are cysteine-rich zinc-binding motifs. These proteins play crucial roles in various cellular processes such as gene regulation, cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration, through their ability to interact with other proteins and modulate their activities.
Cytoskelettproteiner
Fokala vidhäftningar
Mikrofilamentproteiner
Glykoproteiner
Konjugerade protein-kolväteföreningar, omfattande bl a muciner, mukoida och amyloida glykoproteiner.
Stressfibrer
Stress fibers are thick, rope-like bundles of actin filaments and myosin II motor proteins that form in response to mechanical or chemical stress in cells. They play a crucial role in maintaining cell shape, generating contractile forces, and providing structural support necessary for various cellular functions such as migration, adhesion, and signal transduction.
