Abstract excerpt
Cardiac muscle contraction is regulated via Ca2+ exchange with the hetero-trimeric troponin complex located on the thin filament. Binding of Ca2+ to cardiac troponin C, a Ca2+ sensing subunit within the troponin complex, results in a series of conformational re-arrangements among the thin filament components, leading to an increase in the formation of actomyosin cross-bridges and muscle contraction. Ultimately, a...
