F- and G-actin concentrations in lamellipodia of moving cells.

F- and G-actin concentrations in lamellipodia of moving cells.

Cells protrude by polymerizing monomeric (G) into polymeric (F) actin at the tip of the lamellipodium. Actin filaments are depolymerized towards the rear of the lamellipodium in a treadmilling process, thereby supplementing a G-actin pool for a new round of polymerization. In this scenario the conce...
