Troponin T

Troponin T is a part of the troponin complex. It binds to tropomyosin, interlocking them to form a troponin-tropomyosin complex.

The tissue specific subtypes are:
 * Slow skeletal troponin T1, TNNT1 (19q13.4, )
 * Cardiac troponin T2, TNNT2 (1q32, )
 * Fast skeletal troponin T3, TNNT3 (11p15.5, )

Troponin T binds to tropomyosin and helps position it on actin. And in a less complicated light, Troponin T modulates contraction of striated muscle

Troponin T was discovered by the German physician Hugo A. Katus at the University of Heidelberg. He developed the troponin T assay.
