Purity: > 95% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid. In 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 1mM DTT, 10% glycerol, 0.1M NaCl. Troponin C type 1, also known as TNNC1, is a member of troponins family. Troponin has 3 subunits, Troponin I(Tn-I), Troponin T(Tn-T) and Troponin C(Tn-C). Tn-I subunit inhibits actomyosin ATPase and Tn-T subunit binds tropomyosin and Tn-C, while Tn-C subunit binds calcium and overcomes the inhibitory action of the troponin complex on actin filaments. TNNC1 is dumbbell-shaped and has a hydrophobic pocket that increases the contractile force of muscle fibers. Recombinant human TNNC1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
