Myosin heavy chains (hcs) are the major determinant in the speed of contraction of skeletal muscle, and various isoforms are differentially expressed depending on the functional activity of the muscle. Using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3Π RACE) method, we have characterised the 3Π end of t
It is generally accepted that mechanical stress of cardiomyocytes increases RNA and protein synthesis of myosin heavy chain (MHC) quantitatively but it is still a matter of debate whether MHC gene expression is also changed qualitatively. We investigated expression of MHC genes of spontaneously cont
Myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform composition was determined in 2264 single skeletal muscle fibers from vastus lateralis muscle of a group (n = 12) of very old subjects (average age, 88 years). The number of fibers containing only MHC I, IIA, or IIX was 19.9%, 27.2%, and 0.3%, respectively. Surprisin
