Recombinant Human Myosin-binding protein C, cardiac-type (MYBPC3), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q14896

Target Species

Human

Target Name

MYBPC3

Target Full Name

Myosin-binding protein C, cardiac-type

Target Function

Thick filament-associated protein located in the crossbridge region of vertebrate striated muscle a bands. In vitro it binds MHC, F-actin and native thin filaments, and modifies the activity of actin-activated myosin ATPase. It may modulate muscle contraction or may play a more structural role.

Target Involvement

Cardiomyopathy, familial hypertrophic 4 (CMH4); Cardiomyopathy, dilated 1MM (CMD1MM); Left ventricular non-compaction 10 (LVNC10)

Target Protein Families

Immunoglobulin superfamily, MyBP family

Target Research Area

Others

Target Synonyms

C protein cardiac muscle isoform; C-protein; cardiac muscle isoform; Cardiac MyBP C; Cardiac MyBP-C; Cardiac myosin binding protein C ; cardiac-type; CMH4; FHC; MYBP C; MYBPC; MYBPC3; Myosin binding protein C cardiac; Myosin binding protein C cardiac-type; Myosin-binding protein C; myosin-binding protein C cardiac type; MYPC3_HUMAN

Target Background

MYBPC3 encodes the cardiac isoform of myosin-binding protein C. Myosin-binding protein C is a myosin-associated protein found in the cross-bridge-bearing zone (C region) of A bands in striated muscle. MYBPC3 is expressed exclusively in heart muscle and is a key regulator of cardiac contraction. Mutations in this gene are a frequent cause of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
