Hypothesis-generating for molluscan muscle regulation; leaves open any role in mammalian cardiac contraction.
Direct phosphorylation of twitchin by PKA at the D1 and D2 sites supports its regulatory role in the molluscan catch mechanism.
Funabara et al. (2001) studied this question. cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) was evaluated on Phosphorylation of twitchin. Direct phosphorylation of twitchin by PKA at the D1 and D2 sites is consistent with a regulatory role for twitchin in the molluscan catch mechanism.
