Myosin Types and Fiber Types in Cardiac Muscle
... Two MHC isoforrns, antigenically similar to ventricular aand B-MHC, have been identified in the atrial myoeardium (15). Myosin isolated from bovine auricular appendages reacts strongly with anti-bA whereas it does not react with anti-bV, thus it appears to consist essentially of a-type MHC; accordin ...
