Abstract excerpt
The giant protein titin is expressed in vertebrate striated muscle where it spans half a sarcomere from the Z-disc to the M-band and is essential for muscle organisation, activity and health. The C-terminal portion of titin is closely associated with the thick, myosin-containing filament and exhibits a complex pattern of immunoglobulin and fibronectin domains. This pattern reflects features of the filament...
