Alterations in the Level of Calpain During the Differentiation of Chick Embryonic Muscle Cells in Culture
배양 근원세포의 분화에 따른 Calpain의 활성 및 양적 변화
Abstract
Proteolytic activity of calpain was found to increase as myoblast fusion proceeds. At 60 hr after cell seeding, lis activity reached to a maximal level and then slighdy decreased thereafter. Similarly, the protein level of calpain reached to a maximal level just proir to the initiation of fusion and remained elevated upon prolonged culture as analyzed by immunoblol using anti-calpain antiserum. These results suggest that the synthesis of calpain is regulated during myogenesis and its proteolytic activity may be related with the process of myoblasts fusion.
