Myocardin-related transcription factor-a controls myofibroblast activation and fibrosis in response to myocardial infarction.

abstract：:Cardiac hypertrophy induced by thyrotoxic stress leads to an increase in the rate of force development, velocity of shortening, tension-dependent heat generation, and myosin ATPase activity. We did studies to see whether alterations in covalent phosphorylation of myofibrillar proteins correlate with these changes. The...
