AmiGO 2: Term Details for "substrate-dependent cell migration, cell contraction" (GO:0006932)

Accession: GO:0006932
Name: substrate-dependent cell migration, cell contraction
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: substrate-bound cell migration, cell contraction
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The translocation of the cell body forward during cell migration, mediated by tractional force on its substrate and tension in the cortical cytoskeleton. Adhesions transmit propulsive forces and serve as traction points over which the cell moves. Source: PMID:14657486, ISBN:0815316194, PMID:11944043
