Myosinopathies: pathology and mechanisms.

Acta neuropathologica - 1 Jan 2013

Tajsharghi Homa, Oldfors Anders

Abstract excerpt

The myosin heavy chain (MyHC) is the molecular motor of muscle and forms the backbone of the sarcomere thick filaments. Different MyHC isoforms are of importance for the physiological properties of different muscle fiber types. Hereditary myosin myopathies have emerged as an important group of diseases with variable clinical and morphological expression depending on the mutated isoform and type and location of...
