GO term: actin filament organization Help



Ontology: Biological Process (GO:0007015)

Definition: A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures comprising actin filaments. Includes processes that control the spatial distribution of actin filaments, such as organizing filaments into meshworks, bundles, or other structures, as by cross-linking.

Synonyms: actin filament organisation; regulation of actin filament localization
