Deficiency of slow skeletal muscle troponin T causes atrophy of type I slow fibres and decreases tolerance to fatigue
21 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Key points Loss of slow skeletal muscle troponin T (ssTnT) due to a nonsense mutation in codon Glu180 causes a lethal form of recessively inherited nemaline myopathy. We studied the phenotypes of partial and total loss of ssTnT in the diaphragm and soleus muscles of Tnnt1 gene targeted mice. ssTnT deficiency resulted in significant decreases in other slow fibre‐specific myofilament proteins whereas fast...
