Functional narrative |
Caldesmon is an essential for regulation of smooth-muscle contraction. This protein interacts directly with many other proteins including actin, smooth-muscle tropomyosin, non-muscle tropomyosin, calmodulin, myosin, caltropin, and calcyclin. Caldesmon can be found in the thin filaments of smooth muscle.
The disordered region of this protein functions as a multi-partner binding site for a variety of binding partners. Many isoforms of this protein exist - the largest was characterized here.
