Diversity in smooth muscle thin filament composition.
Two classes of smooth muscle thin filament can be identified and separated based on their interaction with antibodies specific either to filamin or to caldesmon. One type is composed of actin, tropomyosin and filamin and the other of actin, tropomyosin and caldesmon.
