Background
Among the six actin isoforms described in mammals, two are found in virtually all cells (β- and γ-cytoplasmic), two are detected in smooth muscle cells (α- and γ-smooth muscle) and two are present in striated muscles, one predominantly in skeletal (α-skeletal) and one in cardiac (α-cardiac) muscle cells. These actin isoforms differ slightly in their N-terminus, but the sequence of each of these actins is highly conserved in higher vertebrates. Cardiac α-actin, which is the main actin isoform in the adult heart, has also been shown to be the predominant form in early muscle development. In later development the expression of α-cardiac actin is down regulated and α-skeletal actin becomes the dominant isoform in the adult skeletal muscle.
