Overview
Troponin I is a part of the troponin complex. It binds to actin in thin myofilaments to hold the troponin-tropomyosin complex in place. The letter I is given due to its inhibitory character.
The tissue specific subtypes are:
- Slow-twitch skeletal muscle isoform troponin I, TNNI1 (1q31.3, 191042)
- Fast-twitch skeletal muscle isoform troponin I, TNNI2 (11p15.5, 191043)
- Cardiac troponin I, TNNI3 (19q13.4, 191044)
