Seminar Information

Slow Myosin Binding Protein-C (sMyBP-C) plays a crucial role in maintaining the structure and function of skeletal muscle. As a key regulator of myosin and actin interactions, sMyBP-C modulates contractility and fine-tunes muscle performance. Emerging evidence underscores its significance in muscle development, repair, and disease, offering fresh perspectives on its functional and structural roles. Dr. Sadayappan’s presentation delves into the current understanding of sMyBP-C in skeletal muscle, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for treating muscle disorders.
