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. |
