▪ Abstract Myosin is a highly conserved, ubiquitous protein found in all eukaryotic cells,
where it provides the motor function for diverse movements such as cytokinesis …

Cardiovascular complications are important in hyperthyroidism because of their high
frequency in clinical presentation and increased mortality and morbidity risk. The cause of …

The intergenic region between the mouse alpha-myosin heavy chain (MHC) and beta-MHC
genes was analyzed in terms of its ability to drive gene expression in transgenic mice …

Myosin is a molecular motor, which interacts with actin to convert the energy from ATP
hydrolysis into mechanical work. In cardiac myocytes, two myosin isoforms are expressed …

The α-myosin heavy-chain (α-MHC) gene is the major structural protein in the adult rodent
myocardium. Its expression is restricted to the heart by a complex interplay of/ram-acting …

The heart is an organ sensitive to the action of thyroid hormone, and measurable changes in
cardiac performance are detected with small variations in thyroid hormone serum …

Cardiac hypertrophy is characterized by an increase in cell size in the absence of cell
division and is accompanied by a number of qualitative and quantitative changes in gene …

The ras family of small GTP-binding proteins exerts powerful effects upon cell structure and
function. One member of this family, rac, induces actin cytoskeletal reorganization in …

The field of drug testing currently needs a new integrated assay system, as accurate as
systems using native tissues, that will allow us to predict arrhythmia risks of candidate drugs …

The aim of this study was to analyze the temporal sequence of expression of the myosin
isoforms in the populations of muscle fibers in the pig and to bring more information on the …
