	Protein - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Filamentous proteins make up the cytoskeleton of cells and much of the structure of animals: examples include tubulin, actin, collagen and keratin, all of which are important components of skin, hair, and cartilage.
		Another special class of proteins consists of motor proteins such as myosin, kinesin, and dynein.
		These proteins are "molecular motors," generating physical force which can move organelles, cells, and entire muscles.

		The cilium developed from pre-existing components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton (which has tubulin, dynein, and nexin, used for other functions of course) (McQuade, 1977; Cavalier-Smith 1975, 1978, 1982) as an extension of the mitotic spindle apparatus (Cavalier-Smith, 1987b).
		The connection can still be seen, first in the various early-branching single-celled eukaryotes that have a microtubule basal body, where microtubules on one end form a spindle-like cone around the nucleus, while microtubules on the other end point away from the cell and form the cilium.
