Myosin II is found in the myofibers of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle tissue where the protein forms the thick filaments. The myosin of the thick filaments has the ability to bind the thin filaments, composed of actin. The myosin head then rotates and pulls the two filaments past one another providing the basis for muscle contraction. | Myosin II is found in the myofibers of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle tissue where the protein forms the thick filaments.
