Protein filament
Videos
In biology, a protein filament is a long chain of protein monomers, such as those found in hair, muscle, or in flagella. Protein filaments form together to make the cytoskeleton of the cell. They are

This is a representation of a microfilament breakdown in a muscle fiber. It shows the different zones and disks within the sarcolemma of this muscle fiber.
This helps depict the role that microtubules play in cellular division. In this fluorescent image, the microtubules are highlighted green and can be seen helping to pull the cells apart.
The microtubule-organizing center is a structure found in eukaryotic cells from which microtubules emerge. MTOCs have two main functions: the organization of eukaryotic flagella and cilia and the orga
