Biomechanical Properties of the Sarcolemma and Costameres of Skeletal Muscle Lacking Desmin
Intermediate filaments (IFs), composed primarily by desmin and keratins, link the myofibrils to each other, to intracellular organelles, and to the sarcolemma. There they may play an important role in transfer of contractile force from the Z-disks and M-lines of neighboring myofibrils to costameres...
