Key result
Hypertrophied human hearts show no myosin light chain amino acid sequence alterations vs. normal hearts.
Why the study?
Structural modifications of myosin light chains in hypertrophied human hearts were investigated to explore a molecular basis for changes in heart properties and myosin enzymatic activity.
Population
Myosin light chains from normal and hypertrophied human hearts
Comparison
Normal hearts vs hypertrophied hearts
Design
Partial sequencing study

No sequence changes in myosin light chains do not alter hypertrophy management; leaves open post-translational modifications or other proteins.
Klotz et al. (1982) studied Cardiac hypertrophy. Cardiac hypertrophy vs. Normal hearts was evaluated on Amino acid sequence modifications (substitutions, deletions, or additions). Myosin light chains from hypertrophied human hearts showed no amino acid substitutions, deletions, or additions compared to normal hearts.
