Myotilin is a 55.3 kDa protein composed of 496 amino acids.{{cite web | url = http://www.heartproteome.org/copa/ProteinInfo.aspx?QType=Protein%20ID&QValue=Q9JIF9 | work = Cardiac Organellar Protein Atlas Knowledgebase (COPaKB) | title = Myotilin protein information | access-date = 2015-03-23 | archive-date = 2015-09-24 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150924025611/http://www.heartproteome.org/copa/ProteinInfo.aspx?QType=Protein%20ID&QValue=Q9JIF9 | url-status = dead }} Myotilin was originally identified as a novel alpha-actinin binding partner with two Ig-like domains, that localized to the Z-disc.{{cite journal | vauthors = Salmikangas P, Mykkänen OM, Grönholm M, Heiska L, Kere J, Carpén O | title = Myotilin, a novel sarcomeric protein with two Ig-like domains, is encoded by a candidate gene for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy | journal = Human Molecular Genetics | volume = 8 | issue = 7 | date = Jul 1999 | pmid = 10369880 | doi=10.1093/hmg/8.7.1329 | pages=1329–36| s2cid = 16176213 | doi-access = free }} The I-type Ig-like domains reside at the C-terminal half, and are most homologous to Ig domains 2-3 of palladin and Ig domains 4-5 of myopalladin and more distantly related to Z-disc Ig domains 7 and 8 of titin.

Myotilin is a structural protein that, along with titin and alpha-actinin give structural integrity to sarcomeres at Z-discs in striated muscle. Myotilin induces the formation of actin bundles in vitro and in non-muscle cells. A ternary complex myotilin/actin/alpha-actinin can be observed in vitro and actin bundles formed under these conditions appear more tightly packed than those induced by alpha-actinin alone. It was demonstrated that myotilin stabilizes F-actin by slowing down the disassembly rate. Ectopic overexpression of truncated myotilin causes the disruption of nascent myofibrils and the co-accumulation of myotilin and titin in amorphous cytoplasmic precipitates. In mature sarcomeres, wild-type myotilin colocalizes with alpha-actinin and Z-disc titin, showing the striated pattern typical of sarcomeric proteins. Targeted disruption of the myotilin gene in mice does not cause significant alterations in muscle function.{{cite journal | vauthors = Moza M et al | year = 2007 | title = Targeted deletion of the muscular dystrophy gene myotilin does not perturb muscle structure or function in mice | journal = Mol Cell Biol | volume = 27 | issue = 1| pages = 244–252 | doi=10.1128/mcb.00561-06| pmid = 17074808 | pmc = 1800670}} On the other hand, transgenic mice with mutated myotilin develop muscle dystrophy.{{cite journal | vauthors = Garvey SM et al | year = 2006 | title = Transgenic mice expressing the myotilin T57I mutation unite the pathology associated with LGMD1A and MFM | journal = Hum Mol Genet | volume = 15 | issue = 15| pages = 2348–62 | doi=10.1093/hmg/ddl160 | pmid=16801328| doi-access = free }}

Myotilin is mutated in various forms of muscular dystrophy: Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 1A (LGMD1A), Myofibrillar Myopathy (MFM), Spheroid Body Myopathy and Distal Myopath. The mechanism underlying the pathology is still under investigation. It has been shown that actin binding properties of myotilin housing pathogenic mutations (Ser55Phe, Thr57Ile, Ser60Cys, and Ser95Ile) are normal,{{cite journal | vauthors = von Nandelstadh P, Grönholm M, Moza M, Lamberg A, Savilahti H, Carpén O | title = Actin-organising properties of the muscular dystrophy protein myotilin | journal = Experimental Cell Research | volume = 310 | issue = 1 | date = Oct 2005 | pmid = 16122733 | doi = 10.1016/j.yexcr.2005.06.027 | pages=131–9}} albeit with a slower rate of degradation.{{cite journal | vauthors = von Nandelstadh P, Soliymani R, Baumann M, Carpen O | title = Analysis of myotilin turnover provides mechanistic insight into the role of myotilinopathy-causing mutations | journal = The Biochemical Journal | volume = 436 | issue = 1 | date = May 2011 | pmid = 21361873 | doi = 10.1042/BJ20101672 | pages=113–21}} Surprisingly, YFP-fusion constructs of myotilin mutants (Ser55Phe, Ser55Ile, Thr57Ile, Ser60Cys, Ser60Phe, Ser95Ile, Arg405Lys) localized normally to Z-discs and exhibited normal dynamics in muscle cells.{{cite journal | vauthors = Wang J, Dube DK, Mittal B, Sanger JM, Sanger JW | title = Myotilin dynamics in cardiac and skeletal muscle cells | journal = Cytoskeleton | volume = 68 | issue = 12 | date = Dec 2011 | pmid = 22021208 | doi = 10.1002/cm.20542 | pages=661–70 | pmc=3240742}}
