Cardiac Troponin
Troponin is a complex of three regulatory proteins that is integral to non-smooth muscle contraction in skeletal as well as cardiac muscle.
Troponin is attached to the tropomyosin sitting in the groove between actin filaments in muscle tissue.
Troponin has three subunits, TnC, TnT, and TnI
· Troponin-C has calcium binding ability and has no diagnostic value
· Troponin-T binds the troponin tropomyosin comple,
· Troponin-I is an inhibitory protein.
Cardiac Troponin I is a cardiac muscle protein with a molecular weight of 24 kilodaltons.
Cardiac Troponin T is present in fetal skeletal muscle.
Cardiology research Journals like Clinical Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine (CCCM) provides a global open access platform to put forth the ongoing research, reviews articles related to all heart related disease, its treatment, case reports and many more.
