Association of the chaperone alphaB-crystallin with titin in heart muscle.
alphaB-crystallin, a major component of the vertebrate lens, is a chaperone belonging to the family of small heat shock proteins. These proteins form oligomers that bind to partially unfolded substrates and prevent denaturation. alphaB-crystallin in cardiac muscle binds to myofibrils under condition...
