Myosin rod protein (MRP) is a novel contractile protein that co-integrates with myosin into the thick filament of Drosophila muscle, altering sarcomere structure and function.

No immediate clinical implications for human myopathies; leaves open whether MRP homologs regulate sarcomere assembly in mammals.
MRP is a novel contractile protein in Drosophila that co-integrates with myosin into the thick filament, altering sarcomere structure and function.
Standiford et al. (1997) studied this question. Myosin rod protein (MRP) characterization was evaluated on MRP localization and structural role in Drosophila muscle. Myosin rod protein (MRP) is a novel contractile protein that co-integrates with myosin into the thick filament of Drosophila muscle, altering sarcomere structure and function.
