A non-muscle α-actinin is an intrinsic component of the cardiac Z-disc and regulates sarcomere turnover, contractility, and heart remodeling Cardiac sarcomeres generate the fundamental forces behind each heartbeat and are thought to contain only muscle-specific cytoskeletal proteins. We show that a widely expressed actin cross-linking prot...
