Protein Domain : IPR001997

Type:  Family Name:  Calponin/LIMCH1
Description:  Calponin is a smooth muscle-specific, actin-, tropomyosin- and calmodulin-binding protein believed to be involved in regulation or modulation of contraction [, ]. Interaction of the protein with actin inhibits actomyosin MgATPase activity. Multiple isoforms are found in smooth muscle []. Calponin is a basic protein of ~34 kDa []. The protein contains three repeats of a well-conserved 26-residue domain (see ).This entry also includes LIM and calponin homology domains-containing protein 1 (LIMCH1), which contains a LIM zinc-binding domain and a CH (calponin-homology) domain. Short Name:  Calponin/LIMCH1
