Changes in αB-crystallin tubulin and MHC isoforms by hindlimb unloading show different expression patterns in various hindlimb muscles

摘要

[Purpose]αB-crystallin is a small heat shock protein that acts as a molecular chaperone under various stress conditions. Microtubules, which consist of tubulin, are related to maintain the intracellular organelles and cellular morphology. These two proteins have been shown to be related to the properties of different types of myofibers based on their contractile properties. The response of these proteins during muscular atrophy, which induces a myofibril component change, is not clearly understood.
