Product description
The binding of Ca(2+) to the trimeric troponin complex
initiates the process of muscle contraction. Increased Ca(2+)
concentrations produce a conformational change in the troponin
complex that is transmitted to tropomyosin dimers situated along
actin filaments. The altered conformation permits increased
interaction between a myosin head and an actin filament which,
ultimately, produces a muscle contraction. The troponin complex has
protein subunits C, I, and T. Subunit C binds Ca(2+) and subunit I
binds to actin and inhibits actin-myosin interaction. Subunit T
binds the troponin complex to the tropomyosin complex and is also
required for Ca(2+)-mediated activation of actomyosin ATPase
activity. There are 3 different troponin T genes that encode
tissue-specific isoforms of subunit T for fast skeletal-, slow
skeletal-, and cardiac-muscle. This gene encodes fast skeletal
troponin T protein; also known as troponin T type 3. Alternative
splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding
additional distinct troponin T type 3 isoforms. A developmentally
regulated switch between fetal/neonatal and adult troponin T type 3
isoforms occurs. Additional splice variants have been described but
their biological validity has not been established. Mutations in
this gene may cause distal arthrogryposis multiplex congenita type
2B (DA2B).1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
