3 Main Classes of Protein Fibers in Cytoskeleton | Cell

The following points highlight the three main classes of protein fibers in cytoskeleton. The classes are: 1. Microtubules 2. Actin Filaments 3. Intermediate Filaments. Protein Fibers in Cytoskeleton: Class # 1. Microtubules: Microtubules are long thread-like structures measuring about 25 nm in diameter; their length varies up to several millimeters. Microtubules have the following two main properties: (i) Long and [...]
