Skeletal muscle alpha-actin diseases.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology - 1 Jan 2008

North Kathryn N, Laing Nigel G

Abstract excerpt

Skeletal muscle alpha-actin is the principal protein component of the adult skeletal muscle thin filament. The interaction between skeletal muscle alpha-actin and the various myosin heavy chain proteins in the different muscle fibre types generates the force of muscle contraction. Skeletal muscle alpha-alpha actin is thus of fundamental importance to normal muscle contraction. To date over 140 different...
