Myosin binding protein C (MYBPC) is a component of the thick filament of striated muscle, with the fast-type isoform designated MYBPC2.
Both the fast-type and slow-type MYBPC protein contains seven immunoglobulin C2 motifs and three fibronectin type-III repeats.
MYBPC2 is typically required for strong contractions and functions under anaerobic conditions.
It is more similar to the cardiac isoform (MYBPC3) than to the slow-type isoform (MYBPC1) in terms of pCa50-indexed force development, length-independent cooperativity and length dependent activation.
It has been suggested that in cardiac and fast muscle MYBPC2 contributes to an internal load, possibly by binding to actin via its N-terminal region.
