Abstract
Parvalbumin mRNA was assayed by Northern blot analysis in muscles from normal and dystropic (mdx) mice. Its content was found to be specific ally higher in mdx fast muscles than in control preparations. This sug gests an increased expression of the protein in dystrophin-lacking fas t fibres. A possible role in calcium homeostasis is discussed.
