Calponin identification in bovine aorta is hypothesis-generating; leaves open its regulatory role in human vascular contractility.
The identification of calponin as a novel troponin T-like protein in vascular smooth muscle suggests it may be a specialized component involved in regulating the contractile apparatus.
Takahashi et al. (1988) studied this question.
