One of the major proteins of muscle. Myosin can slide along filaments of actin, generating force as it does so and using ATP as its motive energy source.

| myosin |
One of two proteins responsible for muscle contraction (see actin). Myosin bundles intermesh with actin bundles, and muscle contraction occurs when the two protein bundles slide over each other.

| myosin |
Motor protein that uses ATP to drive movements along actin filaments. Myosin II is a large protein that forms the thick filaments of skeletal muscle. Smaller myosins, such as myosin I, are widely distributed, and responsible for many actin-based movements within cells.
