Description
Product Characteristics:
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 (By similarity).
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: SMCC, Sm-Calp, HEL-S-14, Calponin-1, Basic calponin, Calponin H1, smooth muscle, CNN1
Target Information: binds actin stress fibers\, involved in actin bundling [RGD, Feb 2006]
