Skeletal muscle-specific ablation of gamma(cyto)-actin does not exacerbate the mdx phenotype.

PloS one - 11 Jun 2008

Prins Kurt W, Lowe Dawn A, Ervasti James M

Abstract excerpt

We previously documented a ten-fold increase in gamma(cyto)-actin expression in dystrophin-deficient skeletal muscle and hypothesized that increased gamma(cyto)-actin expression may participate in an adaptive cytoskeletal remodeling response. To explore whether increased gamma(cyto)-actin fortifies the cortical cytoskeleton in dystrophic skeletal muscle, we generated double knockout mice lacking both dystrophin...
