Abstract:Involvement of Cn/NFAT signaling in the regulation of the skeletal muscle fiber phenotype is recognized, however, the role of the various Cn‐regulated NFAT isoforms in this process remains rudimentary. We thus assessed the expression, localization and function of NFAT isoforms in muscle fibers of wild type or transgenic NFATc2 or NFATc3 deficient mice under normal weightbearing or functional compensatory work overload conditions. Immunohistochemical analyses indicated that NFAT isoforms have distinct roles in … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
