Costameres are essential for maintaining the integrity of muscle fibers, which affects meat tenderness. To explore pattern alteration in costameres after slaughter, this study investigated distribution costamere proteins (desmin, talin-2, vinculin, and integrin β1), their impact on tenderness, involved enzymes. Western blot analysis showed that talin-2 significantly degraded postmortem, while β1 increased at 48 h (P < 0.05). Warner-Bratzler shear force was positively correlated with desmin, expression transcription levels genes but negatively pH, expression, ITGB1 level terms overall trend. Multiplex immunohistochemistry revealed these were mainly distributed sarcolemma cytoplasm, spatial interactions them began to weaken 24 h. Caspase-3 cathepsin B colocalized 3 may contribute degradation costameres.
