Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of calcium binding proteins by 45Ca autoradiography on nitrocellulose membrane after sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis.
TL;DR: A new simple method of detecting calcium binding proteins in a protein mixture is described that can detect as little as 2 micrograms of calcium binding protein in the starting sample and under appropriate conditions it was possible to detect only high affinity calciumbinding proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene expression of myofibrillar proteins in single muscle fibers of adult chicken: micro two dimensional gel electrophoretic analysis.
TL;DR: Analysis of single fibers of pectoral, anterior latissimus dorsi, sartorius and soleus muscle revealed that single fibers contained either fast or slow form of each of the troponin subunits, indicating that Troponin exists as a 'homocomplex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Involvement of an Acidic Protein in Regulation of Smooth Muscle Contraction by the Tropomyosin-Leiotonin System
TL;DR: An acidic Ca-binding protein of about 18,000 dalton, different from both modulator protein and troponin C, was found to be involved in the regulatory mechanism of smooth muscle contraction by the tropomyosin-leiotonin system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in Myosin Isozymes during Development of Chicken Gizzard Muscle
TL;DR: Myosin isozymes specific to embryonic gizzard muscle which exhibit embryo-specific light chain compositions, but are similar to adult gizzard myosin in their heavy chain structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Essential factor of gizzard "troponin" fraction. A new type of regulatory protein.
TL;DR: The physiological activity of gizzard "troponin" fraction ((1975) J. Biochem.
