Chapter 45.4, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The sliding filament mechanism associated with muscle contraction.
Introduction: Skeletal muscles are the types of muscle that contain numerous muscle fibers. Every muscle fiber encloses in a bundle of 4 to 20 large structures called myofibrils.

Molecular Biology Question
You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
