Microtubule Systems

Microtubule Systems is a structural and functional assemblage in protozoan cells, belonging to the broader category of cytoskeletal architectures, that is distinguished by the organized polymerization of tubulin subunits into microtubules which mediate essential processes such as cell motility, intracellular transport, and maintenance of cellular shape.
