Null mutation of calpain 3 (p94) in mice causes abnormal sarcomere formation in vivo and in vitro
11 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
The giant protein titin serves a primary role as a scaffold for sarcomere assembly; however, proteins that mediate this remodeling have not been identified. One potential mediator of this process is the protease calpain 3 (C3), the protein mutated in limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A. To test the hypothesis that C3 mediates remodeling during myofibrillogenesis, C3 knockout (C3KO) mice were generated. The...
