Nebulin-related-anchoring protein(N-RAP) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NRAPgene. N-RAP is a muscle-specific isoform belonging to the nebulin family of proteins. This family is composed of 5 members: N-RAP, nebulin, nebulette, LASP-1 and LASP-2. N-RAP is involved in both myofibrillar myogenesis during development and cell-cell connections in mature muscle.[5][6][7][8]
