Q23 / 200 · NEET 2004 · Botany
ATPase enzyme needed for muscle contraction is located in:
- Aactinin
- Btroponin
- Correct answerCmyosin
- Dactin.
Solution
In all myosin, the head domain is a specialized ATPase that is able to couple the hydrolysis of ATP with motion.
Related Theory
The contractile protein of skeletal muscle involving ATPase activity is myosin. Myosin comprise a family of ATP-dependent motor proteins and are best known for their role in muscle contraction and their involvement in a wide range of other eukaryotic motility processes. They are responsible for actinbased motility.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
