title: [Characterization of desmin in the electric organ of Electrophorus electricus L].
abstract: The intermediate filament protein of the electric organ from the Electrophorus electricus L. was purified in DEAE-cellulose column after extraction with a Triton X-100 buffer and urea solubilization. The desmin was analysed by SDS-PAGE against desmin purified from chicken gizzard. Characterization of desmin from the electric eel was carried out by peptide mapping and immunoblotting methods.
