Immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of titin and similar domains
Ig_Titin_like: immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain found in titin-like proteins. Titin (also called connectin) is a fibrous sarcomeric protein specifically found in vertebrate striated muscle. Titin is a giant protein; depending on isoform composition, it ranges from 2970 to 3700 kDa, and is of a length that spans half a sarcomere. Titin largely consists of multiple repeats of Ig-like and fibronectin type 3 (FN-III)-like domains. Titin connects the ends of myosin thick filaments to Z disks and extends along the thick filament to the H zone. It appears to function similarly to an elastic band, keeping the myosin filaments centered in the sarcomere during muscle contraction or stretching. Within the sarcomere, titin is also attached to or is associated with myosin binding protein C (MyBP-C). MyBP-C appears to contribute to the generation of passive tension by titin, and similar to titin has repeated Ig-like and FN-III domains. Also included in this group are worm twitchin and insect projectin, thick filament proteins of invertebrate muscle, which also have repeated Ig-like and FN-III domains.
