The oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex is involved in myofibril growth and Z-disc assembly in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2023 Myofibrils are long intracellular cables specific to muscles, composed mainly of actin and myosin filaments. The actin and myosin filaments are organized into repeated units called sarcomeres, which form the myofibrils.

Lbx2regulates formation of myofibrils [PDF]
BMC Developmental Biology, 2009 Skeletal muscle differentiation requires assembly of contractile proteins into organized myofibrils. The Drosophila ladybird homeobox gene (lad) functions in founder cells of the segmental border muscle to promote myoblast fusion and muscle shaping. Tetrapods have two homologous genes (Lbx).

Perturbation of cytosolic calcium by 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and caffeine affects zebrafish myofibril alignment [PDF]
, 2015 The objective of the current study was to investigate the effects of Ca2+ levels on myofibril alignment during zebrafish embryogenesis. To investigate how altered cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels affect myofibril alignment, we exposed zebrafish embryos to 2 ...

Properties of heat induced blend gel of Peruvian squid (Dosidicus gigas) myofibril protein fortified with millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) flour [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Weak gelation ability and simple nutrient composition of squid myofibril protein limits its further development in surimi production. Millet flour is rich in nutrients and has a good viscoelasticity after heating.

The effect of recombinant caspase 3 on myofibrillar proteins in porcine skeletal muscle
Animal, 2008 The objective of this study was to investigate the potential role of the caspase protease family in meat tenderisation by examining if caspase 3 was capable of causing myofibril protein degradation.
