`Superfast' or masticatory myosin and the evolution of jaw-closing muscles of vertebrates

1 Aug 2002

Abstract excerpt

There are four fibre types in mammalian limb muscles, each expressing a different myosin isoform that finely tunes fibre mechanics and energetics for locomotion. Functional demands on jaw-closer muscles are complex and varied, and jaw muscles show considerable phylogenetic plasticity, with a repertoire for myosin expression that includes limb, developmental, alpha-cardiac and masticatory myosins. Masticatory...
