Reexpression of myogenic proteins in mature electric organ after removal of neural input.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 1 Dec 1998

Unguez G A, Zakon H H

Abstract excerpt

The electric organ (EO) of the weakly electric fish Sternopygus macrurus derives from striated myofibers that fuse and suppress many muscle properties. Mature electrocytes are larger than muscle fibers, do not contain sarcomeres, or express myosin heavy chain (MHC) or tropomyosin. Furthermore, el...
