Actin filament is made up of

A

Actin, troponin and tropomyosin

B

Actin, troponin

C

Myosin, troponin

D

Actin, tropomyosin

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
One thin filament probobly contains 300-400 actin molecules about 50 tropomyosin plays a vital role in sensitizing the contractile prodeins (actin and myosin) to calcium ions.
