Troponin C slow skeletal and cardiac muscles, TN-C, TNNC1, TNNC, TNC, CMD1Z.
Troponin is a fundamental regulatory protein of striated muscle contraction, and together with tropomyosin, is positioned on the actin filament. Troponin has 3 subunits: TnI- the inhibitor of actomyosin ATPase; TnT- contains the for tropomyosin; and TnC- the protein encoded by the TNNC1 gene. The binding of calcium to TnC stops the inhibitory action of TnI, consequently allowing the interaction of actin with myosin, the hydrolysis of ATP, and the generation of tension. Mutations in the TNNC1 gene are linked to cardiomyopathy dilated type 1Z.
Cardiac Troponin-C Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 181 amino acids (1-161) and having a molecular mass of 20.5 kDa.
Cardiac Troponin-C is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
