Myosin heavy chain composition of the human sternocleidomastoid muscle

Original language description

The sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle is one of the neck muscles responsible for head posture and control of head movement. It functions in rotation, inclination, rotraction, extension and flexion of the head, whilst chewing and in exerting ncreased respiratory efforts. This study is the first one describing the myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform composition of the SCM muscle of presumably healthy young males for the purpose of better understanding the contractile properties of the muscle as well as to help in evaluation of pathologically altered structure of the muscle. Autopsy samples were processed immunohistochemically to reveal the MyHC isoform composition. The muscle fibres expressed MyHC-1 (31.5%), -2a (29.7%) and -2x (4.3%) or co-expressed MyHC-2a with MyHC-2x (26.8%), MyHC-1 with MyHC-2a (4.1%) and/or MyHC-1, -2a with -2x (1.1%). In addition to the MyHC isoforms, characteristic of adult limb muscles, a very low percentage of muscle fibres (0.2?2.7%) expressed MyHC-neo, which is
