Abstract excerpt
Myosin heavy chains (hcs) are the major determinant in the speed of contraction of skeletal muscle, and various isoforms are differentially expressed depending on the functional activity of the muscle. Using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3' RACE) method, we have characterised the 3' end of the embryonic, perinatal, type 1, 2a, 2x, and 2b myosin hc genes in rabbit skeletal muscle and used them as probes in...
