Description
Description
The troponin complex associates with tropomyosin (Tm1) and controls the contraction of the striated muscle in response to changes in intracellular calcium concentration. The troponin-T subunit isoforms are encoded by a single gene, up. Troponin-T interacts with tropomyosin. (Adapted from FBrf0226138 and PMID:31448287.)
Notes on Group

The TROPONIN T ISOFORMS gene group contains only one member.

Unlike vertebrate troponin-T, up is calcium ion binding (FBrf0102914).
