Dystrophin (Xp21), a new phenotype marker of cultured rat aortic myocytes.

Abstract excerpt

Dystrophin is a low-abundance cytoskeletal protein involved in the maintenance of membrane integrity in striated muscle. Very little is known about its role in smooth muscle. Utrophin (a dystrophin-related protein) is an ubiquitous protein whose role is still unclear. Changes in the expression of both proteins (if any) during phenotypic modulation of smooth muscle have not yet been reported. In contrast,...
