Abstract excerpt
We investigated the effect of the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy-linked R21C (arginine to cysteine) mutation in human cardiac troponin I (cTnI) on the contractile properties and myofilament protein phosphorylation in papillary muscle preparations from left (LV) and right (RV) ventricles of homozygous R21C(+/+) knock-in mice. The maximal steady-state force was significantly reduced in skinned papillary muscle strips...
