| UniProt functional annotation for P02586 | |||
| UniProt code: P02586. |
| Organism: | Oryctolagus cuniculus (Rabbit). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Lagomorpha; Leporidae; Oryctolagus. | |
| Function: | Troponin is the central regulatory protein of striated muscle contraction. Tn consists of three components: Tn-I which is the inhibitor of actomyosin ATPase, Tn-T which contains the binding site for tropomyosin and Tn-C. The binding of calcium to Tn-C abolishes the inhibitory action of Tn on actin filaments. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Skeletal muscle troponin C binds four calcium ions. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the troponin C family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
