Titin-Isoform Dependence of Titin-Actin Interaction and Its Regulation by S100A1/Ca2+ in Skinned Myocardium
Titin, also known as connectin, is a large filamentous protein that greatly contributes to passive myocardial stiffness. In vitro evidence suggests that one of titin's spring elements, the PEVK, interacts with actin and that this adds a viscous component to passive stiffness. Differential splic...
