title: Identification and localization of the myotonic dystrophy gene product in skeletal and cardiac muscles.
abstract: We have raised a polyclonal antibody against a synthetic peptide chosen within the deduced sequence of the myotonic dystrophy gene product. This antibody binds to a protein whose molecular weight is in the range of 50-54 kDa in Western blotting of rat, rabbit and human muscles. Biochemical studies seem to indicate that this protein is a peripheral component of sarcoplasmic reticulum as well as of plasma membrane.
