Troponin T

Troponin T

Troponin T is a part of the troponin complex. It binds to tropomyosin, interlocking them to form a troponin-tropomyosin complex.

The tissue specific subtypes are:
* Slow skeletal troponin T1, TNNT1 (19q13.4, OMIM2|191041)
* Cardiac troponin T2, TNNT2 (1q32, OMIM2|191045)
* Fast skeletal troponin T3, TNNT3 (11p15.5, OMIM2|600692)

Troponin T binds to tropomyosin and helps position it on actin [marieb, elaine (2004)] . And in a less complicated light, Troponin T modulates contraction of striated muscle [black, joyce (2005)]
