A basic structure of a myocyte.

Actin and myosin are the major proteins in the contractile apparatus; the sarcomere. Desmin are predominantly found around the Z-disc linking the myofibrils together. Alpha-crystallin B chain binds to other cytoskeletal and myofibrillar proteins thus having a stabilizing effect. Adapted with permission from The Journal of Clinical Investigation77.
