telethonin

telethonin
tele·thon·in (tel″ə-thonґin) a 19 kDa sarcomeric protein of the Z band of striated and cardiac muscle. It is a substrate of and binds to titin, and acts as a muscle assembly regulating factor. Mutations in the gene encoding telethonin have been associated with types of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy.
