Notes:
Summary The appearance of α and β subunits of skeletal tropomyosin in early myogenesis was studied histochemically using monoclonal antibody to α tropomyosin and affinity-purified polyclonal antibody to β tropomyosin. In muscle cells, in both somites and limb buds, the α and β subunits are simultaneously expressed and first appear in the somites at the 30–36 somites. The relatively greater amount of β than α tropomyosin found in early myogenesis is thus likely to result from a higher rate of β tropomyosin synthesis.
