Troponin T (Cardiac) Antibody检测内源性心脏的Troponin T总蛋白。通过人工合成人源心脏的Troponin T蛋白Pro69位点周围相应的多肽片段去免疫动物从而制备出多克隆抗体。通过蛋白A和多肽亲和层析纯化抗体。Troponin蛋白连同tropomyosin蛋白一起发挥作用,该蛋白作为一个分子开关,在细胞内Ca2+浓度变化的情况下调节肌肉收缩。Troponin蛋白有三个亚型组成:Ca2+结合亚基troponin C (TnC)、肌球蛋白结合亚基troponin T (TnT)和抑制亚基troponin I (TnI)(1)。在心脏的β-adrenergic刺激下,TnI (cardiac)的Ser23和Ser24位点是通过PKA 和PKC 磷酸化。这个磷酸化刺激TnC蛋白的调节区域的构象变化,减少TnI和TnC的联系,并且通过减少肌丝Ca2+敏感度从而减少TnC蛋白的Ca2+结合度(1-3)。troponin复合物的原肌球蛋白结合亚基TnT存在三种不同的亚型:慢骨骼肌亚型(ssTnT/TNNT1)、快骨骼肌亚型(fsTnT/TNNT3)和心肌亚型(cTnT/TNNT2)。这些中的每一个也可能包含杜仲选择性剪切体。cTnT和cTnI蛋白的血清浓度检测分析已经在分析心肌损伤中被报道。

Specificity / Sensitivity
Troponin T (Cardiac) Antibody detects endogenous levels of total cardiac Troponin T protein.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a region surrounding Pro69 of human cardiac Troponin T protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
Troponin, working in conjunction with tropomyosin, functions as a molecular switch, regulating muscle contraction in response to changes in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Troponin consists of three subunits: the Ca2+-binding subunit troponin C (TnC), the tropomyosin-binding subunit troponin T (TnT), and the inhibitory subunit troponin I (TnI) (1). In response to β-adrenergic stimulation of the heart, Ser23 and Ser24 of TnI (cardiac) are phosphorylated by PKA and PKC. This phosphorylation stimulates a conformational change of the regulatory domain of TnC, reduces the association between TnI and TnC, and decreases myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity by reducing the Ca2+ binding affinity of TnC (1-3).The tropomyosin binding subunit of the troponin complex TnT exists as different isoforms in slow skeletal muscle (ssTnT/TNNT1), fast skeletal muscle (fsTnT/TNNT3) and in cardiac muscle (cTnT/TNNT2). Each of these may also contain multiple alternatively spliced variants. Assays for measuring serum concentrations of cTnT, as well as cTnI, have been reported for analyzing cardiac injury.
