Actin Treadmilling

Actin Treadmilling is a dynamic cellular process in which actin filaments undergo continuous polymerization at their barbed ends and simultaneous depolymerization at their pointed ends, resulting in the net movement of subunits through the filament without changes in overall filament length.
