Recombinant Human Cardiac Troponin-I

Source : Escherichia Coli. Recombinant Human TNNI3 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 210 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 24,016 Dalton.The TNNI3 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Troponin I (TnI), troponin T (TnT) and troponin C (TnC) form the troponin complex of the thin filaments of striated muscle. TnI is acts as the inhibitory subunit by blocking actin-myosin interactions and thereby mediating striated muscle relaxation. The TnI subfamily contains 3 genes: TnI-skeletal-fast-twitch, TnI-skeletal-slow-twitch, and TnI-cardiac. The TNNI3 gene encodes the TnI-cardiac protein and is exclusively expressed in cardiac muscle tissues. Mutations in the TNNI3 gene cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy type 7 (CMH7) and familial restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM).
