Abstract:
cDNAs clones corresponding to the skeletal and smooth muscle beta tropomyosins isoforms were isolated from a Xenopus laevis embryo cDNA library. Sequence analysis indicated that the two isoforms are coded by a single gene that uses two couples of alternative exons. The expression of the X. laevis beta tropomyosin gene closely resembles that of the mammalian gene but differs from the avian gene.
