Example sentences for: caldesmon
How can you use “caldesmon” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Caldesmon is likely to play a modulatory role on the production of smooth muscle force via a tethering of actin to myosin [ 11 ] and/or of its effects on the actomyosin ATPase [ 12 13 14 ] . Similarly, TM does not seem to function as a major regulatory protein, but modulatory effects due to its ability to maintain the actin filamentous structure [ 15 ] , to inhibit the Ca 2+-ATPase activity [ 16 ] , alter the cytoskeletal dynamics [ 17 ] and improve actin filament flexibility during the contraction/relaxation cycle [ 18 19 ] have been well documented.
It remains to be determined whether the relatively bigger amount of caldesmon and TM-α is advantageous for the artery in fulfilling resistive functions, and whether more TM-β is a prerequisite for veins to fulfill capacitative functions in the mesenteric circulation.
Differences in the content of caldesmon, or the TM isoforms, therefore, might be associated with modulatory effects on the time profile or magnitude of contraction.
Screening of the translated non-redundant database at GenBank with the amino acid sequence of the yeast D/E-rich domain selected numerous other aspartate-glutamate rich proteins, including neurofilament proteins and caldesmon.
mesenteric circulation) demonstrate differences in the expression levels of six major contractile and thin filament-binding proteins, i.e. actin, myosin heavy chain (MHC), myosin light chain (MLC), tropomyosin (TM), calponin, and caldesmon.
