Description:
Cardiotin is a high molecular weight protein complex (300kD) located in the longitudinal SR of cardiomyocytes. The cardiotin structure exists of subunits of 60kD and 100kD. Both subunits contain the same amino-terminal 14 amino acid sequence, showing high homology to human skeletal muscle a-actinin, suggesting that the tetrameric configuration of the cardiotin protein structure is a transmembrane complex with the N-terminus at the cytoplasmic side of the membrane, able to interact with actin. During cardiac contractile dysfunction, a decreased SR activity is detected. The cardiotin distribution is affected in pathological cardiomyocytes i.e. chronic ischemic myocardium. |
