- Titin - Wikipedia
Titin is the third most abundant protein in muscle (after myosin and actin), and an adult human contains approximately 0 5 kg of titin [13] With its length of ~27,000 to ~35,000 amino acids (depending on the splice isoform), titin is the largest known protein [14]
- Discovery of Titin and Its Role in Heart Function and Disease
Encoded by the TTN (titin gene), titin has emerged as a major disease locus for cardiac disorders Functionally, titin acts as a third myofilament type, connecting sarcomeric Z-disks and M-bands, and regulating myocardial passive stiffness and stretch sensing
- What Is Titin? The Giant Protein That Powers Muscles
Titin is a protein of immense scale found exclusively in the striated muscle tissue of vertebrates, including the heart and skeletal muscles It holds the distinction of being the largest known protein in nature, performing a foundational role in muscle structure and mechanics
- TTN gene: MedlinePlus Genetics
The TTN gene provides instructions for making a very large protein called titin Learn about this gene and related health conditions
- PDB-101: Molecule of the Month: Titin
Titin is the largest protein chain in your body, with more than 34,000 amino acids This titanic protein acts like a big rubber band in our muscles It is attached at one end to the Z-disk (shown here at the top in blue), which organizes the thin actin filaments
- Entry - *188840 - TITIN; TTN - OMIM - (OMIM. ORG)
The complete gene sequence of titin, expression of an unusual approximately 700-kDa titin isoform, and its interaction with obscurin identify a novel Z-line to I-band linking system
- Titin: roles in cardiac function and diseases - Frontiers
With a molecular weight of ∼3–4 MDa (in humans), titin is the largest protein expressed in mammals, extending from the Z-disk to the M-band where the N- and C-termini are anchored, respectively Titin is divided into four portions based on the orientation of the molecule within the half sarcomere
