Contractile proteins are found in muscle cells, also known as myocytes.

These proteins are responsible for the ability of muscles to contract and generate force. The main contractile proteins are:

* Actin: A thin filament that forms the backbone of the contractile unit (sarcomere) in muscle cells.

* Myosin: A thick filament that binds to actin and pulls it, causing muscle contraction.
