Abstract excerpt
Calponin-h1 is a 34-kDa myofibrillar thin filament, actin-binding protein that is expressed exclusively in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in adult animals. To examine the molecular mechanisms that regulate SMC-specific gene expression, we have examined the temporal, spatial, and cell cycle-regulated patterns of expression of calponin-h1 gene expression and isolated and structurally characterized the murine...
