Gangliosides of the bovine heart impulse conducting system.
The ganglioside analysis of the heart impulse conducting system was carried out, comparing it with that of ordinary myocardium. The heart impulse conducting system contained about 3-times more gangliosides than ordinary myocardium and showed a distinctly different ganglioside composition. These observations seemed to indicate that the differentiation between myoblasts and each type of cardiac muscle cell, impulse conducting system and ordinary myocardium cells, resulted in their characteristic ganglioside compositions.
