Note the relationship between the first two words and suggest the suitable word for the fourth place with respect to skeletal muscle.

Troponin: Regulatory protein :: Dystrophin : ______.

Dystrophin is one of the structural protein of muscle.

Dystrophin is essential in linking the actin filaments within the muscle cell to the transmembrane proteins that are embedded in the muscle cell membrane (sarcolemma). This linkage is vital for transmitting force generated during muscle contractions to the surrounding extracellular matrix, ensuring efficient force transmission and preventing damage to the muscle cell membrane.
