Muscle Tissue Proteins

Muscle tissue proteins are the fundamental molecular components responsible for the structure, function, and contractility of muscle cells. They are essential for movement, force generation, and maintaining the integrity of muscle fibers across all types of muscle tissue (skeletal, cardiac, and smooth). Major classes include myofibrillar proteins (actin, myosin), regulatory proteins (troponin, tropomyosin), structural/accessory proteins (titin, nebulin, desmin), and stromal/extracellular matrix proteins (collagen, elastin).
