Abstract excerpt
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a disease caused by single mutations in several sarcomeric proteins, including the human myosin ventricular regulatory light chain (vRLC). The effects of four of these mutations (A13T, F18L, E22K, and P95A) in vRLC on force generation were determined as a function of Ca(2+) concentration. The endogenous RLC was removed from skinned rabbit psoas muscle fibers, and replaced...
