Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that mutations in troponin T (TnT), which is associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), cause an increase in the Ca(2+) sensitivity and a potentiation of cardiac muscle contraction. To gain further insight into the patho-physiological role of these mutations, four mutations (Arg92Gln, Phe110Ile, Glu244Asp, Arg278Cys) were introduced into recombinant human cardiac TnT, and...
