Cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBP-C) is a key regulatory protein found in heart muscle cells that plays a critical role in controlling the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Mutations in the gene encoding cMyBP-C have been associated with various cardiac conditions, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Research on cMyBP-C focuses on understanding its structure, function, and interactions with other proteins in order to develop targeted therapies for these and other heart diseases. Additionally, studies are exploring the potential of cMyBP-C as a biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring cardiac conditions, as well as a target for drug development.
