Question

Function of contractile protein in muscles

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Tropomyosins are contractile proteins which, together with the other proteins actin and myosin, function to regulate contraction in both muscle and non-muscle cells and are ubiquitous in animal cells.

Muscle contraction thus results from an interaction between the actin and myosin filaments that generates their movement relative to one another. The molecular basis for this interaction is the binding of myosin to actin filaments, allowing myosin to function as a motor that drives filament sliding.
