Abstract

Desmin, the muscle-specific intermediate filament protein was purified from the main electric organ of Electrophorus electricus. It is shown that pure desmin can be separated into 5 isoforms presenting different isoelectric points. These isoforms have similar molecular weight, react with an antibody directed against desmin and generate identical peptides after digestion with protease V8 from Staphylococcus aureus.
