- 1肌動蛋白(存在於細胞內,與肌肉收縮有關的一種蛋白質)
A protein found inside your cells, especially in muscle cells. Long threads of actin, working together with another protein called myosin, are what let your muscles tighten and let cells move or change shape. It's a word from biology, not something people use in everyday talk.
From the word’s history
From Greek aktis 'ray' + -in, from the shape of the filament.
來自希臘文 aktís「光線」加 -in,因它形成的細絲像射線。
組成act (to do, to move) + -in (a common ending for naming proteins, seen also in words like insulin).
