Myosin Binding Protein C

Myosin Binding Protein C (MyBP-C) is a protein found in heart and skeletal muscles. It plays a crucial role in the contraction of muscle fibers by helping organize the structure of the muscle and regulating the interaction between the proteins actin and myosin, which are essential for muscle movement. MyBP-C ensures that muscles contract efficiently and effectively. Abnormalities in this protein can lead to heart diseases, highlighting its importance in maintaining healthy muscle function.
