Question:
The contractile protein of skeletal muscle involving ATPase activity is-
The contractile protein of skeletal muscle involving ATPase activity is-
Updated On: Jul 13, 2024
- Troponin
- Tropomyosin
- Myosin
- $\alpha$- Actin
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Myosin is a contractile protein that interacts with actin to bring about contraction of muscle or cell movement. The type of myosin molecule found in muscle fibres consists of a tail, by which it aggregates with other myosin molecules to form so-called thick filaments and a globular head, which has sites for the attachment of actin and ATP molecule. Troponin, tropomyosin and a-actinin are the actin in the thin filament.
