|
Function |
Thin filament-associated protein that is implicated in the regulation and modulation of smooth muscle contraction. It is capable of binding to actin, calmodulin, troponin C and tropomyosin. The interaction of calponin with actin inhibits the actomyosin Mg-ATPase activity.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in both non-smooth muscle tissues as well as smooth muscle tissues.
