Protein expression of N exilin in cardiac tissue of indicated mouse strains at P5 (postnatal day 5). All proteins were normalized to GAPDH (n = 3 each). Only the long isoform of NEXN from the WT was utilized in our AAV construct and quantitated in the bar graphs. Data are expressed as mean SEM. ** P < 0.01 and *** P < 0.001, Students t-test.
