Also known as SMCCSm-Calp
Summary
CNN1 (calponin 1, HGNC:2155) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.2, encoding Calponin-1 (P51911). Thin filament-associated protein that is implicated in the regulation and modulation of smooth muscle contraction.
Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell proliferation. Located in cytoskeleton.

Genetic regulation across tissues (GTEx eQTL / sQTL)
CNN1 is an eGene in GTEx v10 — its expression is genetically regulated (eQTL) in 6 tissues and its splicing (sQTL) in 7 (q < 0.05). Strongest associations first; slope = normalized effect of the lead variant’s alternative allele.

Function. Thin filament-associated protein that is implicated in the regulation and modulation of smooth muscle contraction. It is capable of binding to actin, calmodulin and tropomyosin. The interaction of calponin with actin inhibits the actomyosin Mg-ATPase activity.
Subunit / interactions. Part of cGMP kinase signaling complex at least composed of ACTA2/alpha-actin, CNN1/calponin H1, PLN/phospholamban, PRKG1 and ITPR1.
Tissue specificity. Smooth muscle, and tissues containing significant amounts of smooth muscle.
Similarity. Belongs to the calponin family.
