Function:Thin filament-associated protein that is implicated in the regulation and modulation of smooth muscle contraction. It is capable of binding to actin, calmodulin, troponin C and tropomyosin. The interaction of calponin with actin inhibits the actomyosin Mg-ATPase activity.,similarity:Belongs to the calponin family.,similarity:Contains 1 CH (calponin-homology) domain.,similarity:Contains 3 calponin-like repeats.,subunit:Part of cGMP kinase signaling complex at least composed of ACTA2/alpha-actin, CNN1/calponin H1, PLN/phospholamban, PRKG1 and ITPR1.,tissue specificity:Smooth muscle, and tissues containing significant amounts of smooth muscle.,
