Caption

Intracellular force is produced by myosin interacting with actin filament (protein filament). Drebrin E can inhibit the actin-myosin interaction, hence regulate the intracellular force. It has been known that the concentration of drebrin E decreases during animal development. However, a correlation between the drebrin concentration and the actin-myosin activity has remained unclear, especially at the physiological temperature.
