Abstract
Myosin light chain subunits from adult human atria and ventricle were characterized by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Atrial (ALC-1 and ALC-2) differed from ventricular (VLC-1 and VLC-2) light chains. Foetal (18–21 week) ventricle contained VLC-1 plus a foetal light chain (FLC-1) which could not be distinguished from adult ALC-1. Myosin FLC-1 was gradually lost from the ventricle and replaced by VLC-1 during foetal development and in the immediate postnatal period.Keywords
