Background: Melusin

Melusin is a 38 kDa cytoplasmic protein that interacts specifically with the cytoplasmic domain of the beta1 integrin subunit. It is expressed solely in striated muscle where it detects mechanical stress. The 347 amino acid residue human Melusin contains two amino terminal cysteine-rich repeats that are separated by an intervening sequence at the extreme carboxy-terminal. Melusin has a stretch of negatively charged residues (aspartic and glutamic acids). Human Melusin shares 93%, 92% and 96% amino acid sequence homology with rat, mouse and canine Melusin, respectively.
