Findings limited to rodent triads; leaves open whether stable beta1a association is dispensable in human muscle.
The study demonstrates that while beta1a requires interaction with alpha1S for triad targeting in skeletal muscle, alpha1S can target to triads and function independently of stable beta1a association.
Neuhuber et al. (1998) studied this question.
