Abstract excerpt
Myosin heavy chain (MHC) is encoded by a multigene family containing members which are expressed in developmental and fiber type-specific patterns. In developing rats, primary (1 degree) and secondary (2 degrees) myotubes can be distinguished by difference in MHC expression: 1 degree myotubes coexpress embryonic and slow MHC, while 2 degrees myotubes initially express only embryonic MHC. We have used monoclonal...
