Muscular integrity--a matter of interlinking distinct structures via plectin.

Abstract excerpt

Myocytes are characterized by the presence of highly specialized cytoskeletal structures that are part of regularly spaced functional units distributed over long distances. In this chapter we discuss previously published evidence as well as novel data showing that the proper positioning and architecture of Z-disks and of sarcolemma-associated costameric structures are largely dependent on the cytolinker protein...
