Microtubules in Cardiac Myocytes

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter describes the distribution of microtubules (MTs) in various physiopathological states and their involvement a broad spectrum cellular processes. MTs, like actin filaments, are made up globular protein subunits that can assemble disassemble rapidly cell. The dynamic nature MTs is highly controlled function directly coupled to pattern expression different isotypes tubulins microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). A major constituent mitotic spindle, influence especially during process cell division, intermediate filaments interphase. play an essential role maintenance shape, movement, polarity. Participation intracellular processes mature cardiac myocytes analyzed using model hypertrophy rat. some characteristics adult heart within myocytes. There also analysis on several
