| 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}. |
