Description: Calponin, a thin filament associated protein Storage and Stability: is implicated in the regulation and modulation of smooth Store vial at 40C. When stored at 2-80C, this antibody is muscle contraction. It is capable of binding to actin, stable for 24 months. calmodulin, troponin C and tropomyosin. Calponin is expressed in smooth muscle and tissues containing Suggested References: significant amounts of smooth muscle. Two isoforms of 1. Douglas-Jones A et al.
