Definitions

Cytoskeletal Genes encode Cytoskeletal Proteins, diverse structural proteins including polymerizable globular subunits (actin, tubulin), "motor ATPases" (myosin, dynein), membrane-supporting linkers (spectrin, clathrin), fibrous proteins (keratin, vimentin), and many more. As constituents of the cytoskeleton, Cytoskeletal Proteins form a flexible cellular framework that provides attachment points for organelles and formed bodies and makes communication between cell parts possible.
