Abstract excerpt
The central region of cardiac troponin T (TnT) is important for modulating the dynamics of muscle length-mediated cross-bridge recruitment. Therefore, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutations in the central region may affect cross-bridge recruitment dynamics to alter myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity and length-dependent activation of cardiac myofilaments. Given the importance of the central region of TnT for cardiac...
