Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Mutations in the essential myosin light chain (ELC) and regulatory myosin light chain (RLC) genes have been linked to sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathies in humans; however, the specific functions of the different myosin light chains during cardiogenesis in a vertebrate animal are not well understood. METHODS AND RESULTS: Using zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model organism, we have identified cmlc1 and...
