Discussion

Highlights developmental myosin light chain regulation; leaves open relevance to human cardiac disease.

Population

Chicken embryonic skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles, and brain tissue

Intervention

cDNA cloning, sequence analysis, RNA blot analysis, and Southern blot

Outcome

Characterization of L23 mRNA sequence and expression patterns across tissues and developmental stagessurrogate

This basic science study identifies a common myosin light chain (L23) expressed from a single gene in chicken embryonic muscles and brain.

Kawashima et al. (1987) studied this question.
