Actinomyosin is a protein complex consisting of actin and myosin. Actin is a globular protein that forms the structural framework of many cells and is involved in various cellular processes such as muscle contraction, cell division, and movement. Myosin is a motor protein that moves along actin filaments and is responsible for muscle contraction and other cellular movements. In muscle cells, actin and myosin filaments slide past each other, causing the muscle to contract. This sliding is driven by the interaction of actin and myosin through the actinomyosin complex. Actinomyosin is also involved in cell motility, cell division, and other cellular processes that require the movement of cells or cell components. The actinomyosin complex is regulated by various signaling pathways and molecules that control its assembly, disassembly, and activity. Dysregulation of actinomyosin has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and neurological disorders.
