Abstract excerpt
Based on previous immunological data, cross-reactivity of myosin heavy chain (MHC) with the ventricular (V) isoform was observed in primordia of avian skeletal muscles and in regenerating adult anterior latissimus dorsi (ALD) muscle. To determine whether this primordial (P) MHC is identical to adult V-MHC gene product, we have cloned and characterized the 3' portion of MHC cDNA that is expressed in ALD muscle at...
