Myofibrils, sarcoplasmic reticulum and phosphorylase kinase of Pietrain and Large White-landrace pigs

Comparison of fast and slow twitch myofibril preparations by SDS-gel electrophoresis showed no significant differences between Large White and Pietrain pigs. No variants of parvalbumins or calsequestrin (calcium binding proteins) were found. Pietrain phosphorylase kinase has a greater stimulating ac...

Summary:Comparison of fast and slow twitch myofibril preparations by SDS-gel electrophoresis showed no significant differences between Large White and Pietrain pigs. No variants of parvalbumins or calsequestrin (calcium binding proteins) were found. Pietrain phosphorylase kinase has a greater stimulating activity on porcine phosphorylase than does Large White phosphorylase kinase.
