Smooth Muscle Myosin Heavy Chain Isoform Distribution In The Swine Stomach, Jonathan A. Parisi, Thomas J. Eddinger Mar 2002

Smooth Muscle Myosin Heavy Chain Isoform Distribution In The Swine Stomach, Jonathan A. Parisi, Thomas J. Eddinger

Biological Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

To evaluate the distribution of smooth muscle myosin heavy chain isoforms (SMB, with head insert), we examined frozen sections from the various regions of swine stomachs using isoform-specific antibodies. We previously reported variable SMB myosin heavy chain (MHC) expression in stomach cells that correlates with unloaded shortening velocities. This is consistent with the generalization of tonic fundic muscle having low expression and phasic antral muscle having high expression of the SMB MHC isoform. Using immunohistochemistry (IHC), we show a progression of the SMB MHC from very low immunoreactivity in the fundus to very intense immunoreactivity in the antrum. In the …
