Hello,

As a terminal marker of muscle differentiation into myofiber, you could use MyHC

Hope it helps

Cordialy

Ermie Mariano

thank you for the fast response. do you have a particular MyHC type in mind? there's a lot of MyHC isoforms available out there.

Christophe Praud

It will depend on the species studied. For exemple, in chicken cells slow MyHC are expressed and sarcomeric myosin (MF20 antibody) will be also used.
