actinin 3 alter functional capacity in elderly women? A preliminary report
A F San Juan, F Gomez-Gallego, S Cañete, C Santiago, M Pérez, A Lucia
The sarcomeric protein actinin 3 is localised to the Z line of fast fibres, which are responsible for generating forceful muscle contractions at high velocity. However, a substantial proportion of healthy humans are totally deficient in this protein as they are homozygous for a premature stop codon polymorphism (R577X) in the ACTN3 gene. The purpose of this preliminary study was to assess if the presence or absence of actinin 3 influences the deleterious effects of ageing on muscle output and functional capacity.
