Actin is a globular, roughly 42kD protein found in all eukaryotic cells where it may be present at concentrations of over 100uM.
It is also one of the most highly-conserved proteins, differing by no more than 20% in species as diverse as algae and humans.
Actin is the monomeric subunit of two types of filaments in cells: microfilaments, one of the three major components of the cytoskeleton, and thin filaments, part of the contractile apparatus in muscle cells.
Thus, actin participates in many important cellular processes including muscle contraction, cell motility, cell division and cytokinesis, vesicle and organelle movement, cell signaling, and the establishment and maintenance of cell junctions and cell shape.
Many of these processes are mediated by extensive and intimate interactions of actin with cellular membranes.
In vertebrates, three main groups of actin isoforms, alpha, beta, and gamma have been identified.
