The myogenic electric organ of Sternopygus macrurus: a non-contractile tissue with a skeletal muscle transcriptome
In most electric fish species, the electric organ (EO) derives from striated muscle cells that suppress many muscle properties. In the gymnotiform Sternopygus macrurus, mature electrocytes, the current-producing cells of the EO, do not contain sarcomeres, yet they continue to make some cytoskeletal...
