TABLE 2.
NKAα isoform | Human myotubes (×10–2) | Rat L6 myotubes (×10–3) |
NKAα1 | 12.8 ± 5.5 | 1.84 ± 0.19 |
NKAα2 | 6.27 ± 4.05 | 0.018 ± 0.001*** |
NKAα3 | 0.027 ± 0.043** | Not detected |
Expression levels are reported as the gene expression ratios (NKAα mRNA/actin-β mRNA). Results are shown as means ± SD (human myotubes: n = 6, rat L6 myotubes: n = 4). **p < 0.01 vs. NKAα1 in human myotubes; ***p < 0.0001 vs. NKAα1 in rat L6 myotubes.
