Preferred Label : Cytoskeletal Gene;
NCIt synonyms : Cytoskeletal Protein Gene;
NCIt definition : 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. (NCI);
