Background

TAGLN (Transgelin; also 22 kDa Actin-binding protein, WS3-10 and Smooth muscle protein 22 alpha) is a 22-24 kDa cytosolic member of the calponin (calcium-binding and calmodulin-binding troponin T-like protein) family of molecules. It is expressed in both visceral and vascular smooth muscle, fibroblasts, cardiac myocytes, and potentially in breast duct plus prostate epithelium. TAGLN is associated with the actin stress fibers and appears to both suppress MMP-9 production and downmodulate Ca⁺⁺-independent smooth muscle contraction. Human TAGLN is 201 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one CH/calponin homology domain (aa 24-137), and an actin-binding calponin-like repeat/CLIK (aa 175-200). There is one utilized phosphorylation site at Tyr193, plus two utilized acetylation sites in the N-terminus. Three potential isoform variants are reported, one that shows a alternative start site at Met111, a second that contains a new start site 10 aa upstream of the standard site, and a third that possesses a 58 aa substitution for aa 97-201. Full-length human and mouse TAGLN share 97% aa sequence identity.
