Abstract excerpt
Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is an essential component of the thin filament regulatory unit (RU) that regulates Ca2+ activation of tension in the heart muscle. Because there is coupling between the RU and myosin crossbridges, the functional outcome of cardiomyopathy-related mutations in cTnT may be modified by the type of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform. Ca2+ activation of tension and ATPase activity were measured...
