Cite This Study

Hosoya et al. (1989) studied Developing chicken gizzard smooth muscle. Embryonic development vs. Adult stage was evaluated on Accumulation patterns of tropomyosin isoforms and their relative molar ratios to actin. The relative molar ratio of tropomyosin to actin in embryonic chicken gizzards was lower than in adults and gradually increased during embryonic development.
