Troponin C

Troponin C is a protein which is part of the troponin complex. It contains four calcium-binding EF hands, although different isoforms may have fewer than four functional calcium-binding subdomains. It is a component of thin filaments, along with actin and tropomyosin. It contains an N lobe and a C lobe. The C lobe serves a structural purpose and binds to the N domain of troponin I (TnI). The C lobe can bind either Ca2+ or Mg2+. The N lobe, which binds only Ca2+, is the regulatory lobe and binds to the C domain of troponin I after calcium binding.

Mutations

Point mutations can occur in troponin C inducing alterations to Ca2+ and Mg2+ binding and protein structure[1], leading to abnormalities in muscle contraction[2][3]. In cardiac muscle, they are related to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

These known point mutations are:

gollark: Help with what?
gollark: <@111569489971159040> Would you be interested in helping with SMT over skynet?
gollark: `/warp endislands`
gollark: I even have a skynet -> modem relay up, so it's half backwards compatible - modem -> skynet is off until <@89956374426976256> turns the VLA back on.
gollark: Also, skynet > EXT.
