Abstract excerpt
Abstract Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) has a highly acidic extended N-terminus, the physiological role of which remains poorly understood. To decipher the physiological role of this unique region, we deleted specific regions within the N-terminus of mouse cTnT (McTnT) to create McTnT1-44 and McTnT45-74 proteins. Contractile function and dynamic force-length measurements were made after reconstituting the McTnT...
