products description :
MyBioSource produces Human Heart Troponin T (Tn-T) for research and manufacturing uses. Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available. MyBioSource specializes in human cardiac markers such as Creatine Kinases, Troponins, and Myoglobin among others, both native and recombinant. Human heart Troponin is a family of proteins (I, T and C) and are found in skeletal and heart muscle fibers; it helps muscles contract. Certain subtypes of human Troponin (human cardiac troponin I and cardiac Troponin T) are very sensitive and specific indicators of damage to the heart muscle myocardium). Troponin are measured in the blood to differentiate between unstable angina and myocardial infarction (heart attack) in patients with chest pain. A patient who had suffered from a myocardial infarction would have an area of damaged heart muscle and so would have elevated human cardiac Troponin levels in the blood.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene 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. Mutations in this gene have been associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as well as with dilated cardiomyopathy. Transcripts for this gene undergo alternative splicing that results in many tissue-specific isoforms, however, the full-length nature of some of these variants has not yet been determined.

uniprot summary :
TNNT2: Troponin T is the tropomyosin-binding subunit of troponin, the thin filament regulatory complex which confers calcium-sensitivity to striated muscle actomyosin ATPase activity. Heart. The fetal heart shows a greater expression in the atrium than in the ventricle, while the adult heart shows a greater expression in the ventricle than in the atrium. Isoform 6 predominates in normal adult heart. Isoforms 1, 7 and 8 are expressed in fetal heart. Isoform 7 is also expressed in failing adult heart. Belongs to the troponin T family. 11 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Motor. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1q32. Cellular Component: sarcomere; troponin complex; cytosol; striated muscle thin filament. Molecular Function: troponin C binding; structural constituent of cytoskeleton; troponin I binding; ATPase activity; tropomyosin binding; actin binding. Biological Process: metabolic process; regulation of muscle contraction; atrial cardiac muscle morphogenesis; positive regulation of ATPase activity; ventricular cardiac muscle morphogenesis; sarcomere organization; response to calcium ion; negative regulation of ATPase activity; regulation of heart contraction; muscle filament sliding. Disease: Cardiomyopathy, Familial Restrictive, 3; Cardiomyopathy, Dilated, 1d; Cardiomyopathy, Familial Hypertrophic, 2
