Xin Is a Marker of Skeletal Muscle Damage Severity in Myopathies
Abstract
Xin is a striated muscle-specific protein that is localized to the myotendinous junction in skeletal muscle. However, in injured mouse muscle, Xin expression is up-regulated and observed throughout skeletal muscle fibers and within satellite cells. In this study, Xin was analyzed by immunofluorescent staining in skeletal muscle samples from 47 subjects with various forms of myopathy, including muscular dystrophies, inflammatory myopathies, …
