Nebulin is an actin-binding protein that can be found in skeletal muscles.
Nebulin is large in size and functions
to stabilize actin and regulate muscle
contractions. The gene that codes for
Nebulin, NEB, is on chromosome 2 in
humans. Mutations to the NEB gene
can result in mutations in the amino
acid sequence of the resulting,
Nebulin protein. If the mutation in the
gene causes an amino acid deletion in
the sequence of amino acids that
make up Nebulin, how will this affect
the structure of Nebulin?
