Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBP-C) is a sarcomeric protein that dynamically regulates thick-filament structure and function. In constitutive cMyBP-C knockout (cMyBP-C(-/-)) mice, loss of cMyBP-C has been linked to left ventricular dilation, cardiac hypertrophy, and systolic and diastolic dysfunction, although the pathogenesis of these phenotypes remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: We...
