Definition of troponin in English: troponinnoun ˈtrəʊpə(ʊ)nɪnˈtrō- mass nounBiochemistry A globular protein complex involved in muscle contraction. It occurs with tropomyosin in the thin filaments of muscle tissue. Example sentencesExamples - Actin, myosin, and troponin and tropomyosin were isolated from rabbit back muscle.
- The tropomyosin and troponin proteins on the actin filament provide the switch.
- The onset of contractile activity involves activating troponin, the second accessory protein of thin filaments.
- The addition of regulatory proteins, troponin and tropomyosin, is known to increase the sliding speed of thin filaments in the in vitro motility assay.
- Together with the associated protein troponin, TM on actin can switch between two laterally shifted conformations.
