We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here. During the move, Proteopedia will be read only for a short time.
3uto is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Caenorhabditis elegans. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
UNC22_CAEEL Regulator of muscle contraction and relaxation. Senses mechanical strain that occurs during muscle activity by unfolding in clearly resolvable steps at differing forces.[1][2]
