Focus on cardiac troponin complex: From gene expression to cardiomyopathy [PDF]
The cardiac troponin complex (cTn) is a regulatory component of sarcomere. cTn consists of three subunits: cardiac troponin C (cTnC), which confers Ca2+ sensitivity to muscle; cTnI, which inhibits the interaction of cross-bridge of myosin with thin ...

False-positive troponin elevation due to an immunoglobulin-G-cardiac troponin T complex: a case report [PDF]
Abstract Background Troponin is a crucial biomarker for the diagnosis of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It rises in response to myocardial injury from significant acute myocardial ischaemia caused by obstructive coronary artery disease [‘classical’ myocardial infarction (MI)].

Proteins of the Troponin Complex [PDF]
The troponin complex is a group of three protein subunits located on the thin filament of the contractile apparatus. These three subunits—troponin T, troponin I, and troponin C—different in genetic and protein structure, act together to regulate muscle contraction.

Dynamic Light Scattering from Semidilute Actin Solutions: A Study of Hydrodynamic Screening, Filament Bending Stiffness and the Effect of Tropomyosin/Troponin-Binding [PDF]
Quasi-elastic light scattering (QELS) is applied to investigate the effect of the tropomyosin/troponin complex (Tm/Tn) on the stiffness of actin filaments. The importance of hydrodynamic screening in semidilute solutions is demonstrated. A new concentration dependent expression for the dynamic structure factor $g(\bm k,t)$ of semiflexible polymers in ...

PKCα-specific phosphorylation of the troponin complex in human myocardium: a functional and proteomics analysis. [PDF]
AIMS:Protein kinase Cα (PKCα) is one of the predominant PKC isoforms that phosphorylate cardiac troponin. PKCα is implicated in heart failure and serves as a potential therapeutic target, however, the exact consequences for contractile function in human ...

Abstract By means of new or modified procedures troponin-tropomyosin complex was fractionated into three components plus tropomyosin, and then reconstituted in the absence of urea. Tropomyosin was separated from troponin by hydroxyapatite column chromatography, a method giving sharper separation than the previously used technique of isoelectric ...

Structure and dynamics of endogenous cardiac troponin complex in human heart tissue captured by native nanoproteomics [PDF]
Protein complexes are highly dynamic entities that display substantial diversity in their assembly, post-translational modifications, and non-covalent interactions, allowing them to play critical roles in various biological processes.
