alpha-actinin-3 and performance.

Medicine and sport science - 1 Jan 2009

Yang Nan, Garton Fleur, North Kathryn

Abstract excerpt

The human sarcomeric alpha-actinins (ACTN2 and ACTN3) are major structural components of the Z line in skeletal muscle; they play a role in the maintenance of sarcomeric integrity and also interact with a wide variety of structural, signaling and metabolic proteins. ACTN2 is expressed in all muscle fibers, and expression of ACTN3 is restricted to the type 2 (fast glycolytic) fibers that are responsible for...
