Abstract excerpt
Titin is believed to play a major role in passive tension development in cardiac muscle. The cDNA sequence of cardiac titin in the I-band sarcomeric region was determined for several mammalian species. Contiguous sequences of 3749, 12,230, 6602, and 11,850 base pairs have been obtained for the rat N2B, rat N2BA, dog N2B, and dog N2BA isoforms respectively. The length of the PEVK region of the N2B isoform did not...
