Kindlin-2 is required for myocyte elongation and is essential for myogenesis-0

Cultured in either growth media (GM) or differentiation media (DM) for 1, 2, 3, or 4 days. Kindlin-2 levels were compared to an early (myogenin) and a late (myosin heavy chain; MHC) marker of differentiation. GAPDH was used as a loading control. Kindlin-2 expression was induced upon differentiation, with a peak expression at day 3 post-differentiation. Of note, the GM cell extract was from confluent cells, and confluence stimulates a small amount of differentiation.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Kindlin-2 is required for myocyte elongation and is essential for myogenesis"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2121/9/36</p><p>BMC Cell Biology 2008;9():36-36.</p><p>Published online 8 Jul 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2478659.</p><p>
