Term Detail
| GO term: | microspike assembly |
| Synonym: | microspike biogenesis |
| Synonym: | microspike biosynthesis |
| Synonym: | microspike formation |
| GO id: | GO:0030035 |
| Definition: | Formation of a microspike, a dynamic, actin-rich projection extending from the surface of a migrating animal cell. |
| Comments | Although in some literature 'microspike' and 'filopodium' are used synonymously, in GO microspike refers to a cell projection that is distinct from a filopodium. For the assembly of filopodia, use 'filopodium assembly ; GO:0046847'. |
| Number of paths to term: | 5 |
