Myosin light chain kinases (MLCK ... Similar results were obtained in transfected C2C12 myoblast cells and A10 smooth muscle cells (data not shown). This showed that the two intact Ig domains ...

Direct bidirectional sequencing of the 42 exons of the human MYH11 gene (encoding smooth muscle myosin heavy ... proteins were subjected to 5% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE ...

These are called sarcomeres. When myosin pulls actin filaments together, the sarcomere length is reduced. In non-muscle and smooth muscle cells, actomyosin is not organized into sarcomeres.

The currently identified myosin gene encodes for a contractile protein found in the smooth muscle of blood vessels. The mutations occur in the C-terminus of the coiled-coil region. In a French ...
