Meta-vinculin distribution in adult human tissue was studied by immunoblotting technique. Meta-vinculin was found in smooth (aorta wall and myometrium) and cardiac muscle, rather than in skeletal muscle, liver, kidney and cultured cells - macrophages, foreskin fibroblasts, peripheral blood lymphocytes and vascular endothelial cells. In the primary culture of smooth muscle cells from human aorta the meta-vinculin/vinculin ratio was reduced, and on the onset of cell division meta-vinculin could hardly be detected. Subcultured smooth muscle cells from human aorta did not contain meta-vinculin. The data show that the presence of meta-vinculin is characteristic of 'contractile' smooth muscle cells rather than of proliferating in vitro.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009124 Muscle Proteins The protein constituents of muscle, the major ones being ACTINS and MYOSINS. More than a dozen accessory proteins exist including TROPONIN; TROPOMYOSIN; and DYSTROPHIN. Muscle Protein,Protein, Muscle,Proteins, Muscle
D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow.

D016596 Vinculin A cytoskeletal protein associated with cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The amino acid sequence of human vinculin has been determined. The protein consists of 1066 amino acid residues and its gene has been assigned to chromosome 10. alpha-Vinculin,beta-Vinculin,Isovinculin,alpha Vinculin,beta Vinculin
