Titin,also known as connectin, is a flexible intrasarcomeric filamentous protein, which is largest proteins known today.<ref name=journal4/> Titins are a family of large proteins that which can be broken down into two subclasses of striated and non-muscle cells of vertebrates <ref name=journal4>PMID:10481174 </ref>. | Titin,also known as connectin, is a flexible intrasarcomeric filamentous protein, which is largest proteins known today.<ref name=journal4/> Titins are a family of large proteins that which can be broken down into two subclasses of striated and non-muscle cells of vertebrates <ref name=journal4>PMID:10481174 </ref>. | ||

Titin is a fairly linear protein with a reasoning to why the structure is that way. Titin being a filamentous shaped protein is able to its job in striated muscles.<ref name=journal4/> The molecules are formed with bands themselves and when they form sacromeres they line up next to one another in a linear fashion. The structure is able to give an idea on how it relates to the function and how titin works as an elastic in muscles. | Titin is a fairly linear protein with a reasoning to why the structure is that way.
