Stimulation of Slow Skeletal Muscle Fiber Gene Expression by Calcineurin in Vivo
1 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
Adult skeletal muscle fibers can be categorized into fast and slow twitch subtypes based on specialized contractile and metabolic properties and on distinctive patterns of muscle gene expression. Muscle fiber-type characteristics are dependent on the frequency of motor nerve stimulation and are thought to be controlled by calcium-dependent signaling. The calcium, calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase,...
