What types of cells have cytoskeleton?

The cytoskeleton was once thought to be a feature only of eukaryotic cells, but homologues to all the major proteins of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton have been found in prokaryotes. Harold Erickson notes that before 1992, only eukaryotes were believed to have cytoskeleton components. read more

Of the three types of protein fibers in the cytoskeleton, microfilaments are the narrowest. They have a diameter of about 7 nm and are made up of many linked monomers of a protein called actin, combined in a structure that resembles a double helix. read more

The cytoskeleton is a complex network of fibers that function in cell support and movement. It shapes the cell and holds organelles in place. The cytoskeleton is a complex network of fibers that function in cell support and movement. read more
