title: A novel protein, p19/6.8, specific for cardiac and slow skeletal muscle.
abstract: Upon in vitro translation of mRNAs from slow (soleus) muscles of the mouse a hitherto undescribed translation product has been detected that was absent from fast skeletal muscles and was termed p19/6.8 according to its position in 2-dimensional gels. mRNA for p19/6.8 was also found in the ventricle of the heart. p19/6.8 was not detectable by Coomassie blue staining but could be characterised by fractionation of in vivo labelled muscle tissue. It was found to sediment with the particulate fraction at 14,000 x g. The expression of p19/6.8 mRNA appears to be down-regulated in muscles with phasic activity.
