- | Titin, (TITN) also known as Connectin (PDB ID 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. An adult human that weighs 80 kg may contain almost half a kilogram of Titin, <ref name = Labeit> DOI 10.1161/01.res.80.2.290.</ref> making it extremely abundant as well. | + | Titin, (TITN) also known as Connectin (PDB ID 3b43) is a human protein, unique for its large size.
