Provides foundational localization data; extends smooth muscle findings but leaves open clinical relevance.
Vinculin localizes to intercalated discs and the cell periphery in cardiac muscle, suggesting a role in myofibril-sarcolemma interaction.
Koteliansky et al. (1983) studied this question. Antibodies to vinculin was evaluated on Localization of vinculin in cardiac muscle. In chicken cardiac muscle, vinculin was localized in intercalated discs and near the plasma membrane, suggesting a role in myofibril-sarcolemma interaction.
