Abstract excerpt
The regulatory myosin light chain (MLC) regulates contraction in smooth muscle. However, its function in striated muscle remains obscure, and the different functional activities of the various isoforms that are expressed in the mammalian heart (ventricle- and atrium-specific MLC2) remain undefined. To begin to explore these issues, we used transgenesis to determine the feasibility of effecting a complete or...
