The two proteins encoded by the fast alkali myosin light chain (MLC) lf/3f locus are developmentally regulated, muscle specific, and expressed exclusively in fast-twitch fibers. Their expression is independently regulated by two separate promoters and a downstream enhancer. Previous studies showed a

A DNA probe derived from a mouse intronless pseudogene including coding regions for the myosin fast skeletal muscle alkali light chains, MLC1F/MLC3F (suggested HGM symbol, MYL1), was tested on a panel of 25 independent man-rodent somatic cell hybrids in order to assign the human MLC1F/MLC3F gene to
Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play a key role in the development of major arteries. Furthermore, abnormal growth of vascular smooth muscle cells has been implicated in the progression of major diseases of the cardiovascular system. Here, we report detection in primary cultures of bovine vascul
