Thin filament-associated protein that is implicated in the regulation and modulation of smooth muscle contraction. It is capable of binding to actin, calmodulin and tropomyosin. The interaction of calponin with actin inhibits the actomyosin Mg-ATPase activity (By similarity).
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the calponin family.
Tissue Specificity
Smooth muscle, and tissues containing significant amounts of smooth muscle.
