Abstract
The presence of myosin alpha heavy chain in the rabbit masseter has be en previously suggested at the protein level [(1991) Basic Appl. Myol. 1, 23-34; (1991) Histochem. J. 23, 160-170]. To confirm this finding, we cloned most of the mRNA corresponding to the myosin heavy chain S2 subfragment. PCR analysis and subsequent nucleotide sequence determin ation of the amplified cDNA demonstrates the presence of a myosin alph a heavy chain mRNA in rabbit masticatory muscles.
