Abstract excerpt
Thin filament proteins play an essential role in the regulation of myocardial pressure development. Within the thin filament of the sarcomere, troponin I (TnI) plays a key role in regulating the Ca(2+) sensitivity of force. During myocardial development, there is a transition in TnI isoform expression from the slow skeletal isoform (ssTnI) in embryonic/fetal myocardium to the cardiac isoform (cTnI) expressed in...
