Differentiation of cardiac conducting cells from the neural crest.
Some of the cells that migrate to the dorsal myocardium of the chick embryo in stage 21 H-H begin to synthesize desmin. They retain this property even when they reach the subendothelial layers of the heart bud, i.e. the characteristic site of the cardiac conducting cells.
