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 …

phosphatase‐CaMKII• Mechanisms that regulate the access of myosin to actin‐Caldesmon …

h2-Calponin is found in both smooth muscle and nonmuscle cells, and its function remains
to be established. Western blots with specific monoclonal antibodies detected significant …

Calponin is an extensively studied actin-binding protein, but its function is not well
understood. Among three isoforms of calponin, h2-calponin is found in both smooth muscle …

Troponin T (TnT) is an essential element in the thin filament-based regulatory system of
striated muscle. Alternative mRNA splicing generates multiple TnT isoforms with primary …

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 …

Recently, it has been hypothesized that myosin light chain (MLC) phosphatase is activated
by cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) via a leucine zipper-leucine zipper (LZ-LZ) …

The role of h1-calponin in regulating the contractile properties of smooth muscle was
investigated in bladder and vas deferens of mice carrying a targeted mutation in both alleles …

Calponin and transgelin (originally named SM22) are homologous cytoskeleton proteins
that regulate actin-activated myosin motor functions in smooth muscle contraction and non …

SM22α, also named transgelin, is an actin filament-associated protein in smooth muscle and
fibroblasts. Three decades after its discovery, the biological function of SM22α remains …
