Caldesmon is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CALD1 gene.
It is mapped to 7q33.
This gene encodes a calmodulin- and actin-binding protein that plays an essential role in the regulation of smooth muscle and nonmuscle contraction.
The conserved domain of this protein possesses the binding activities to Ca(2+)-calmodulin, actin, tropomyosin, myosin, and phospholipids.
This protein is a potent inhibitor of the actin-tropomyosin activated myosin MgATPase, and serves as a mediating factor for Ca(2+)-dependent inhibition of smooth muscle contraction.
Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms
