'''Titin''', also known as '''connectin'''<ref>{{OMIM|188840}}</ref> ([[UniProt]] name: Q10466_HUMAN; [[accession number]]: Q10466), is a [[protein]] that is important in the contraction of [[striated muscle]] tissues.

==Structure==
Titin is the largest known protein, consisting of 26,926 [[amino acid]]s. The [[molecular weight]] of the mature protein is approximately 2,993,442.763 [[atomic mass unit|u]]<ref>http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/cgi-bin/molform?C132983H211861N36149O40883S693</ref>, and it has a theoretical [[Isoelectric point|pI]] of 6.01<ref>{{cite web |url=http://us.expasy.org/cgi-bin/pi_tool1?Q10466@noft@ |title=ExPASy-calculated pI for titin |accessdate=2007-08-26 |format= |work=}}</ref> The protein's empirical [[chemical formula]] is C<sub>132983</sub>H<sub>211861</sub>N<sub>36149</sub>O<sub>40883</sub>S<sub>693</sub>. It has a theoretical [[instability index]] (II) of 39.69, indicating that it would be stable in a [[test tube]]. The protein's [[in vivo]] [[half-life]], the time it takes for half of the amount of protein in a cell to disappear after its synthesis in the cell, is predicted to be approximately 30 hours (in [[mammalian]] [[reticulocyte]]s).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://us.expasy.org/cgi-bin/niceprot.pl?Q10466|title=Swiss-Prot Protein knowledgebase, main entry|accessdate=2006-05-04}}</ref>

As the largest known protein, titin also has the longest [[International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry nomenclature|IUPAC name]]. The full chemical name, containing 189,819 letters, is sometimes stated to be the [[Longest word in English|longest word in the English language]].<ref>{{cite web
