Human skeletal muscle.
Troponin I binds to actin in thin myofilaments to hold the actin-tropomyosin complex in place. This binding prevents myosin from interacting with actin in relaxed muscle, thereby inhibiting muscle contraction. When calcium ions bind to troponin C, it causes a conformational change that displaces troponin I, allowing muscle contraction to occur .
There are three isoforms of troponin I, each with unique tissue-specific expression patterns :
Troponin I is a valuable biomarker in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (heart attack). Elevated levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in the blood indicate cardiac muscle damage . However, it is important to note that troponin I is not entirely specific for myocardial damage secondary to infarction, as it can also be elevated in other conditions .
