High impact information on Myh2

  • Despite this universal compensation of MyHC-IIa expression, IId null mice have severe phenotypes [1].
  • Reinnervation following transient neonatal denervation of both the +/+ and the dy/dy EDL muscles results in a similar decrease (approximately 62%) in the number of myofibers containing MHC2B and an increase in myofibers containing the other fast MHC isoforms (MHC2A and MHC2X) [2].
