Progressive heart failure after myocardial infarction in mice.

abstract：:In the human ventricle two isoforms of the phosphorylatable myosin light chain (MPLC) are expressed. These two forms are designated with increasing acidity as LC-2 and LC-2*. In the normal human heart the relation between LC-2/LC-2*-expression is 70/30, suggesting the existence of three different myosin isoenzymes (MP...
