Troponin I Type 1 is primarily expressed in skeletal muscle and functions to prevent actin-myosin interaction, which is crucial for muscle relaxation. It is also considered a cytoskeletal element in some neurons . The recombinant form of this protein is produced using Escherichia coli (E. coli) expression systems, which allows for high purity and suitability for various applications such as SDS-PAGE .
TNNI1 is specifically expressed in slow muscle fibers and plays a significant role in muscle development. It is involved in the regulation of muscle contraction by inhibiting the interaction between actin and myosin, which is essential for muscle relaxation . This regulation is crucial for maintaining proper muscle function and preventing unwanted contractions.
Recombinant Human Troponin I Type 1 is widely used in research to study muscle physiology and the mechanisms of muscle contraction and relaxation. It is also used in the development of diagnostic assays for muscle-related diseases and conditions. The high purity and specific expression of recombinant TNNI1 make it a valuable tool for researchers studying muscle function and related disorders .
