We previously identified an enzyme that predominantly phosphorylates MLC2v in cardiomyocytes, cardiac myosin light-chain kinase (cMLCK), yet the role(s) played by cMLCK in regulating cardiac function ...

(27) Molecular mass markers used were smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (204 kDa), galactosidase (116 kDa), phosphorylase b (97.4 kDa), bovine serum albumin (66 kDa), ovalbumin (45 kDa), carbonic ...

Constitutive overexpression of PGC-1α in the heart of intact mice, under control of the cardiac-specific α-myosin heavy chain (α-MHC ... that express PGC-1α under control of the MCK (muscle creatine ...

The F-actin based motor protein myosin II has a key role in cytokinesis. Here we show that the Schizosaccharomyces pombe regulatory light chain (RLC) protein Rlc1p binds to Myo2p in manner that is ...

But a new study gives fans of white and sparkling wines good reason to cheer. Looking specifically at sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), researchers found that drinking Champagne and white wine was strongly ...

A Korean research team has developed a light-powered artificial muscle that operates freely underwater, paving the way for next-generation soft robotics. The research team—Dr. Hyun Kim at the ...

It can relieve muscle tension, boost blood flow, and increase the range of motion in your joints. It’s also a great mood lifter. When your muscles are sore, a gentle massage is best. Light ...
