Actin filament growth and lamellipodia progression on a support, animation. Lamellipodia are thin but broad projections at the edge of a mobile cell, they are dynamic structures that constantly change shape. Lamellipodia have been shown to contain extensively branched arrays of actin filaments, oriented with their plus (barbed) ends toward the plasma membrane. Forward extension of a lamellipodium occurs by growth of actin filaments (yellow) adjacent to the plasma membrane. | |
