substrate-dependent cell migration, cell contraction

id: GO:0006932
name: substrate-dependent cell migration, cell contraction
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: 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.
