Background
Caldesmon is a binding protein of smooth actin and calmodulin, a cytoskeleton-associated protein present in thin filaments (smooth and striated muscles) that regulates the interaction of actin and myosin. It is available in low molecular weight (l-Caldesmon) and high molecular weight (h-Caldesmon). The latter is thought to be present only in visceral and vascular smooth muscle and myoepithelium. Caldesmon is commonly used in the diagnosis of smooth muscle differentiation tumors.
