Rat cTnT Elisa Kit

Background:
Troponin T is one of three troponin isoforms found in the tropomyosin-troponin complex. This complex is responsible for the calcium sensitivity of the contractile apparatus in the muscle. Cardiac Troponin T is used as a biological marker for cardiomyocytes and its level in serum is frequently used as an indicator of myocardial cell injury. Cardiac TnT is the tropomyosin-binding subunit of the troponin complex, which is located on the thin filament of striated muscles and regulates muscle contraction in response to alterations in intracellular calcium ion concentration. Cardiac TnT is a 35.9 kDa protein composed of 298 amino acids. Cardiac TnT is the largest of the three troponin subunits (cTnT, troponin I (TnI), troponin C (TnC)) on the actin thin filament of cardiac muscle.
