Myosin Filaments of Vertebrate Skeletal and Cardiac Muscle are Highly Similar, but not Identical

2026-02-18

Abstract excerpt

Striated muscles consist of two filament types, one composed mostly of actin and the other composed mostly of myosin 1,2 . Actin filaments are highly similar across different muscle types and species both invertebrate and vertebrate 3 . Myosin filaments of vertebrate striated muscle are quite homogeneous in structure having identical lengths, governed by the giant protein titin 4,5 , and rotational symmetries w...
