Abstract excerpt

Recently we described a protein, smoothelin, that has been exclusively found in smooth muscle cells (SMC). The human cDNA has been cloned from a colon cDNA library and the putative protein sequence was deduced. Smoothelin does not belong to a known protein family but shows a partial homology with members of the spectrin family. Transfection studies revealed that smoothelin has an affinity for actin and is either...
