11beaded filaments — (= beaded chain filaments) Intermediate filaments found in the lens fibre cells of the eye: composed of filensin and phakinin …
12keratin filaments — intermediate filaments composed of cytokeratins; they are usually heteropolymers formed from one acidic and one basic cytokeratin and are present in most epithelial cells. The cytokeratin composition varies in different types, states, and degrees …
13thick filaments — bipolar myosin filaments, 12–14 nm in diameter and 1.6 μm in length, occurring in striated muscle; the term may also be used to denote filaments, often much shorter, occurring elsewhere. See also myofilament …
14vimentin filaments — intermediate filaments composed of vimentin, found in a variety of cells derived from embryonic mesenchyme; they act as cytoskeletal support structures, play a role in mitosis, and are clustered particularly around the nucleus, probably helping… …
15intermediate filaments — intermediate filaments. См. промежуточные микрофиламенты. (Источник: «Англо русский толковый словарь генетических терминов». Арефьев В.А., Лисовенко Л.А., Москва: Изд во ВНИРО, 1995 г.) …
16intermediate filaments — (in ter me de it fil ah ments) Small protein filaments, about 8 to 10 nm in diameter, in the cytoplasmic matrix of eucaryotic cells that are important in cell structure …
17glial filaments — Intermediate filaments of glial cells, made of glial fibrillary acidic protein …
18rostral filaments — (Subclass Copepoda): The paired filaments, containing elements of the organ of Bellonci, arising from the rostrum [Boxshall and Halsey, 2004] …
19desmin filaments — intermediate filaments composed of desmin, found in muscle cells; they provide a cytoskeletal framework to hold myofibrils in place and thus coordinate contraction of the cells …
20glial filaments — intermediate filaments composed of glial fibrillary acidic protein, found in nonneuronal cells of the central nervous system, particularly astrocytes; they provide a framework for the cells and their cytoplasmic processes …
