Term Data

Source Ontology: Gene Ontology
Accession: GO:0005856
Term Name: cytoskeleton
Database Cross Reference: Wikipedia:Cytoskeleton
Definition: A cellular structure that forms the internal framework of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. The cytoskeleton includes intermediate filaments, microfilaments, microtubules, the microtrabecular lattice, and other structures characterized by a polymeric filamentous nature and long-range order within the cell. The various elements of the cytoskeleton not only serve in the maintenance of cellular shape but also have roles in other cellular functions, including cellular movement, cell division, endocytosis, and movement of organelles.
