| - | Titin, (TITN) also known as Connectin (PDB 3b43) is a human protein, unique for its large size. It is the largest known protein chain in the entire human body, comprising over 34,000 amino acids and holding a molecular weight of 3800 kD. Titin is found within muscle fibers and classified as a connectin protein.
