- Abstract
- Inferior Oblique (IO) muscle of the rabbit is characterized by a rapid time course of the isometric twitch and a high maximum shortening velocity of the sarcomeres but low maximum mechanical power (Asmussen et al., Pflügers Arch. 426, 542-7, 1994). The muscles of these experiments were frozen and analyzed for native myosin isoforms), myosin heavy chains; myosin light chains, tropomyosins and parvalbumin. Isoforms and heavy chains were identified by their electrophoretic mobilities. The content of parvalbumin was 10.9 ± 1.1% of the total LCs. The high content of the fast myosin isoforms is in good accordance with the mechanical properties of the IOmuscle..
