The giant filamentous muscle protein titin spans half of the sarcomere. Through its tight association with the thick filament, its elastic elements at the I-band, its connection to the cytoskeleton components, and its anchorage at the Z-disc and M-line, the protein is proposed to participate in the mechanosensation and -transduction, to provide mechanical stability to the sarcomere as well as to possibly serve as a “molecular ruler,
