- noun In Gregarinida, the deeper layer of the ectoplasm containing a system of contractile fibrils: contrasted with
sarcocyte . - noun A muscle-cell; the formative cellular element of the contractile tissue of most sponges. They are of various shapes, usually slenderly fusiform with long filamentous ends.

The delivery results in non-myocyte cells suggest that Cav1. 2 delivery to BIN1 is independent of other myocyte-specific organelles and proteins.

-
This process, which is known as calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) [12], is essential to each heartbeat and links electrical excitation of the myocyte and local calcium entry to its mechanical contraction.

Although a mutation in the transcription factor myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2 (dmef2) also blocks the initiation of fusion, this is likely due to defects in myoblast differentiation

To confirm that membrane delivery of Cav1. 2 to BIN1 can occur in non-myocyte cells, we evaluated surface expression patterns of exogenous Cav1. 2 in HeLa cells expressing exogenous BIN1.

-
Since Cav1. 2 delivery to BIN1 occurs in reductionist non-myocyte cell lines, we find that other myocyte-specific structures are not essential and there is an intrinsic relationship between microtubule-based Cav1. 2 delivery and its BIN1 scaffold.

-
In reductionist atrial myocyte and non-myocyte cell systems, BIN1 is sufficient to form membrane invaginations and distribute Cav1. 2 to these BIN1-containing membrane regions (visualized by total internal reflection microscopy, TIRFm).

-
Thereby, in the absence of other myocyte structures as well as the absence of endogenous Cav1. 2, ectopic expression of BIN1 is sufficient to concentrate surface Cav1. 2.
