Abstract excerpt
The effects of Troponin T (TnT) mutants R141W and DeltaK210, the only two currently known mutations in TnT that cause dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM) independent of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC), and TnT-K273E, a mutation that leads to a progression from FHC to DCM, were investigated. Studies on the Ca2+ sensitivity of force development in porcine cardiac fibers demonstrated that TnT-DeltaK210 caused a...
