Function | Thick filament-associated protein located in the crossbridge region of vertebrate striated muscle a bands. In vitro it binds MHC, F- actin and native thin filaments, and modifies the activity of actin- activated myosin ATPase. It may modulate muscle contraction or may play a more structural role. |

Background
MYBPC2 Antibody: Myosin binding protein C (MYBPC) is a component of the thick filament of striated muscle, with the fast-type isoform designated MYBPC2. Both the fast-type and slow-type MYBPC protein contains seven immunoglobulin C2 motifs and three fibronectin type-III repeats. MYBPC2 is typically required for strong contractions and functions under anaerobic conditions. It is more similar to the cardiac isoform (MYBPC3) than to the slow-type isoform (MYBPC1) in terms of pCa50-indexed force development, length-independent cooperativity and length dependent activation. It has been suggested that in cardiac and fast muscle MYBPC2 contributes to an internal load, possibly by binding to actin via its N-terminal region.
