Calponin is an actin filament-associated regulatory protein, and its h2 isoform is expressed
in lung alveolar epithelial cells under postnatal upregulation during lung development …

The three genetic isoforms of calponin (CaP), h 1, h 2 and acidic, are distinguished mostly
by their individual C-terminal tail sequences. Deletion of these sequences beyond the last …

Over 20 years ago Katsuhito Takahashi isolated a heat stable, calmodulin and actin binding
protein from chicken gizzard smooth muscle. Considered initially as a mainly structural …

The phosphorylation‐dephosphorylation of serine and threonine residues of calponin is
known to modulate in vitro its interaction with F‐actin and is thought to regulate several …

Amino acid residues 145− 163 of calponin have been proposed as a putative actin‐binding
site [Mezgueldi, M., Mendre, C., Calas, B., Kassab, R. & Fattoum, A.(1995) J. Biol. Chem …

The actin cytoskeleton plays a major role in cell motility that is essential for the function of
phagocytes. Calponin is an actin-associated regulatory protein. Here we report the finding of …

Calponin h1 (CNh1) is an actin-binding protein that is expressed mainly in smooth muscle
cells and is known to regulate smooth muscle contraction. Recently, re-expression of CNh1 …

Calponin is an actin filament-associated protein found in smooth muscle and non-muscle
cells. Calponin inhibits actin–myosin interaction in a manner that is prevented by protein …

Calponin and caldesmon are two thin filament-binding proteins found in smooth muscle that
have both been attributed a role in modulating the interaction of actin and myosin. Using …

Calponin is an actin filament-associated regulatory protein expressed in smooth muscle and
many types of non-muscle cells. Three homologous genes, CNN1, CNN2 and CNN 3 …
