Copurification of actin and desmin from chicken smooth muscle and their copolymerization in vitro to intermediate filaments [PDF]
, 1979 Desmin is a 50,000-mol wt protein that is enriched along with 100-A filaments in chicken gizzard that has been extracted with 1 M KI. Although 1 M KI removes most of the actin from gizzard, a small fraction of this protein remains persistently insoluble,
