Mouse Cardiac Troponin I Elisa Kit

Troponin I, also known as TNI, is a 24-29 kDa component of a protein complex on striated muscle thin filaments. Troponin I inhibits the calcium-dependent muscle contraction mediated by Troponins C and T. The expression of cardiac Troponin I (TNNI3) is restricted to cardiac muscle, while TNNI1 and TNNI2 (encoded by distinct genes) are expressed in skeletal muscle. Mutations of cardiac Troponin I are associated with heriditary cardiomyopathy. Human cardiac Troponin I shares 93%?amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat cardiac Troponin I.
