Abstract excerpt
Myotonic muscular dystrophy is an autosomal dominant defect that produces muscle wasting, myotonia, and cardiac conduction abnormalities. The myotonic dystrophy locus codes for a putative serine-threonine protein kinase of unknown function. We report that overexpression of human myotonic dystrophy protein kinase induces the expression of skeletal muscle-specific genes in undifferentiated BC3H1 muscle cells. BC3H1...
