Patterns of expression in the developing myocardium: towards a morphologically integrated transcriptional model
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
The heart is the first embryonic organ to function. Early in development, the heart shows autorhythmycity and peristaltoid contraction waves [1, 2]. Contraction requires the expression of a specific set of proteins that form the contractile apparatus, i.e. the sarcomere. The contraction–relaxation cycle of the sarcomeric apparatus is mediated by changing local concentrations of free calcium. This function is...
