Chem.)
A protein present in muscle, serving as the principle
contractile protein in muscle contraction.

Note: It was earlier considered as being formed in the
process of coagulation which takes place in {rigor
mortis}. See {Muscle plasma}, under {Plasma}.

insoluble in water, but soluble in dilute solution of
salt, and is especially characterized by being
completely precipitated by saturation of its solutions
with salt.
