Partial sequence of connectin-like 1200K-protein in obliquely striated muscle of a polychaete (Annelida): evidence for structural diversity from vertebrate and invertebrate connectins.

Abstract excerpt

Vertebrate striated muscle contains the giant elastic protein connectin that maintains the position of the A-band at the center of the sarcomere during repeated muscular contraction and relaxation. Connectin-like molecules may perform conserved functions in vertebrate and invertebrate striated and oblique muscles, although less is known about the structure of invertebrate connectins at present. The protein that...
