MeSH Heading: Troponin
Tree Number(s): D05.500.945; D05.750.078.730.825; D12.776.210.500.910; D12.776.220.525.825
Unique ID: D014336
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014336
Annotation: TROPONIN C; TROPONIN I; & TROPONIN T are also available
Scope Note: One of the minor protein components of skeletal and cardiac muscles. It functions as the calcium-binding component in a complex with BETA-TROPOMYOSIN; ACTIN; and MYOSIN and confers calcium sensitivity to the cross-linked actin and myosin filaments. Troponin itself is a complex of three regulatory proteins (TROPONIN C; TROPONIN I; and TROPONIN T).
Entry Term(s): Troponin Complex; Troponins
