Heavy meromyosin binding microfilaments in epidermal cells during wound healing.
Studies have been conducted which demonstrate that heavy meromyosin binds to cortically positioned microfilaments in migrating epidermal cells during early stages of wound healing. This finding demonstrates the presence of actin within these nonmuscle cells and may suggest a role for this contractile protein during epidermal cell migration.
