Obscurin is a giant protein that coordinates diverse aspects of striated muscle physiology. Obscurin immunoglobulin domains 58/59 (Ig58/59) associate with essential sarcomeric and Ca2+ cycling proteins. To explore the pathophysiological significance of Ig58/59, we generated the Obscn-ΔIg58/59 mouse model, expressing obscurin constitutively lacking Ig58/59.
