Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Protein kinase C (PKC) regulates contractility of cardiac muscle cells by phosphorylating thin- and thick- filament-based proteins. Myocardial sarcomeres also contain a third myofilament, titin, and it is unknown whether titin can be phosphorylated by PKC and whether it affects passive tension. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of PKC on titin phosphorylation and...
