Explanation:

Myosin proteins are involved in many cellular functions. Their ability to transport materials and create force through contractions make them important in the process of cell division. Myosins are also involved in cell movement. Some myosins are found in specialized structures in the inner ear known as stereocilia.

Flexible protein Myosin is located in the muscles.

  • Muscles mainly have two protein filaments that help in muscle contraction and other movements. They are actin and myosin.
  • Myosin are a group of motor proteins that perform ATP dependent motility processes.
  • It helps in converting chemical energy( as ATP) to mechanical energy, thereby resulting in force and movement.
  • Actin filaments, together with myosin, bring about many types of cellular movements. It brings about muscular contraction by actin-myosin interactions.
  • It is also involved in movements of non-muscle cells, such as in cell division.
  • The type of myosin present in muscles is referred to as Myosin II and it is a very large protein having two heavy chains( identical) and two pairs of light chains.
