Figure 6.

Scheme showing the distribution of intermediate filaments in smooth, cardiac and skeletal muscle: D: desmin, V: vimentin, K: cytokeratin, N: nestin, S: synemin, P: paranemin, C: syncoilin, 1: dense body, 2: intercalated disk, 3: neuromuscular junction, 4: perimitochondrial, 5: perinuclear, 6: sarcomere, 7: myotendinous junction, 8: costamere, 9: cytoplasm, 10: desmosome. We do not depict other regions where IF proteins have been described, such as cytoplasm and sarcolemma because these categories are ambiguous.
