Involvement of an acidic protein in regulation of smooth muscle contraction by the tropomyosin-leiotonin system.
An acidic Ca-binding protein of about 18,000 dalton, different from both modulator protein and troponin C, was found to be involved in the regulatory mechanism of smooth muscle contraction by the tropomyosin-leiotonin system.
