Abstract excerpt
Cardiac myofibrils isolated from trout heart have been demonstrated to have a higher sensitivity for Ca(2+) than mammalian cardiac myofibrils. Using cardiac troponin C (cTnC) cloned from trout and mammalian hearts, we have previously demonstrated that this comparatively high Ca(2+) sensitivity is due, in part, to trout cTnC (ScTnC) having twice the Ca(2+) affinity of mammalian cTnC (McTnC) over a broad range of...
