Expression and function of the Drosophila ACT88F actin isoform is not restricted to the indirect flight muscles.

Journal of muscle research and cell motility - 1 Jan 2001

Abstract excerpt

Most higher eukaryotic genomes contain multiple actin genes, yet the sequence differences between isoforms are few. In Drosophila melanogaster it was previously established that one of the six actin genes, Act88F, is expressed only in the indirect flight muscles (IFMs). These muscles are highly specialised for oscillatory contractions to power flight. The implication was that this isoform had tissue-specific...
