Abstract
Striated muscle is intricately designed to provide efficient and powerful muscle contractions. Recently, a long sought-after missing component of the thin filament pointed-end machinery was discovered: cyclase-associated protein 2 (CAP2). CAP2 was identified as a crucial contributor to actin polymerization, striated muscle development, and severe muscle disease when mutated.Entities:
