An illustration showing various components of cardiac sarcomere, including myosin-binding protein C
cMYBP-C C-terminal domain (CTD) anchors to the thick filament creating bridges (C-links) towards the thin filaments. Structural data adapted from Tamborrini et al. 2023 (Nature)
The myosin-binding protein C, cardiac-type is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYBPC3 gene .[ 5] This isoform is expressed exclusively in heart muscle during human and mouse development,[ 6] and is distinct from those expressed in slow skeletal muscle (MYBPC1 ) and fast skeletal muscle (MYBPC2 ).
