Abstract excerpt

Both skeletal muscle and cardiac actins are co-expressed in the newborn heart. However, the amount of the skeletal muscle actin and its mRNA rapidly decreases during early development and the cardiac actin predominates in the adult heart. In BALB/c and DBA mice there is a mutation in the cardiac...
