Recombinant Mouse Tn-I protein (His tag)

Product Specifications

Background

Troponin I, also known as TNI and CTF1, is a 24 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 hereditary cardiomyopathy.
