Nonmuscle myosin IIb is involved in the guidance of fibroblast migration.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Mar 2004

Abstract excerpt

Although myosin II is known to play an important role in cell migration, little is known about its specific functions. We have addressed the function of one of the isoforms of myosin II, myosin IIB, by analyzing the movement and mechanical characteristics of fibroblasts where this protein has bee...
