... that kinesin-1 heavy chain Kif5b plays important roles in anterograde transport of α-sarcomeric actin, non-muscle myosin IIB, together with intermediate filament proteins desmin and nestin to the growing tips of the elongating myotubes. Mice with Kif5b conditionally knocked out in myogenic cells showed...

... they co-express Alx4 (arrowheads in A′,A′), and the superficial Dermo1 + domain of the dermis (arrowheads in C′,C′). Control labeled cells also home to the myotome, where most co-express Pax7 (arrowheads in E′) and some are desmin + (arrowheads in G′). GFP + cells are also Pax7...

... directional cell migration and fiber formation, and their effects were mediated through RhoA. Although myoblast specification was not affected, expression of the intermediate filament desmin was reduced. Hence, Slit1 and Robo2, via RhoA, act to pattern formation of the pioneer myotome through the regulation...

...G. Schaart; C. Viebahn; W. Langmann; F. Ramaekers ABSTRACT The expression of the intermediate filament (IF) constituents desmin, vimentin and keratin, as well as the striated-muscle-specific marker titin, was studied in mouse embryos of 8.0 to 9.5 days post coitum (d.p.c.), using the indirect...

Franke ABSTRACT During embryogenesis of avian and mammalian species the formation of intermediate filaments (IFs) containing desmin is characteristic for myogenesis. In view of important differences of patterns of IF protein expression in embryogenic...
