| Answer» Titin is\xa0the largest protein in the body, with a molecular weight of 3 million Dalton and composed of 27,000\xa0amino acids.\xa0Titin\xa0is a giant structural sarcomeric\xa0protein\xa0with a molecular weight of more than 3800 kD. The largest human\xa0protein, it forms the third filament system in striated muscle along with actin and myosin.\xa0Titin\xa0is\xa0the largest protein in the body, with a molecular weight of 3 million Dalton and composed of 27,000\xa0amino acids.
