Abstract excerpt
The N-terminal extension of human cardiac troponin T (TnT), which modulates myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity, contains several hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)-causing mutations including S69F. However, the functional consequence of S69F mutation is unknown. The human analog of S69F in rat TnT is L71F (TnTL71F). Because the functional consequences due to structural changes in the N-terminal extension are influenced...
