Calponin is a thin filament associated protein found in smooth muscle as a potential
modulator of contraction. Five mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs CP1, CP3, CP4, CP7 …

Calponin is a smooth muscle specific, actin-, tropomyosin-and calmodulin-binding protein
thought to be involved in some way in the regulation or modulation of contraction. Here we …

Calponin is an actin binding protein found in the smooth muscle cells of chicken gizzard.
The localization of the protein was examined in bovine platelets, mouse fibroblasts, and the …

Publisher Summary The chapter discusses the a 34-kDa protein that is bound to actin and
actin-tropomyosin in a Ca 2+-independent manner and to calmodulin in a Ca 2+-dependent …

Abstract cDNA clones encoding a calponin isoform with 309 amino acids have been isolated
from human heart. The deduced amino acid polypeptide (Mr 33,697) showed a neutral …

The calponin family of F-actin-, tropomyosin-and calmodulin-binding proteins currently
comprises three genetic variants. Their functional roles implicated from in vitro studies …

Previously, we attributed the binding of F-actin to the 38-residue stretch of gizzard calponin
encompassing the sequence A145− Y182 and postulated the hexapeptide motif VKYAEK …

The essential role of mechanical signals in regulating the function of living cells is
universally observed. However, how mechanical signals are transduced in cells to regulate …

Calponin, an actin/calmodulin-binding protein present in smooth muscle thin filaments,
modulates the actin− myosin interaction and actomyosin ATPase activity of smooth muscle …

Calponin is an actin filament‐associated protein reported in platelets, although the specific
isoform expressed and functional role were not identified. The h2‐calponin isoform is …
