Cytoskeletal Protein
Definition 1
Major constituent of the cytoskeleton found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. They form a flexible framework for the cell, provide attachment points for organelles and formed bodies, and make communication between parts of the cell possible. (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
diverse family of structural proteins, including polymerizable globular subunits (actin, tubulin), "motor ATPases" (myosin, dynein), membrane-supporting linkers (spectrin, clathrin), fibrous proteins (keratin, vimentin), and many more. (NIH CRISP Thesaurus)
