Definition: One of the three polypeptide chains that make up the TROPONIN complex. It is a cardiac-specific protein that binds to TROPOMYOSIN. It is released from damaged or injured heart muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC). Defects in the gene encoding troponin T result in FAMILIAL HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY.  TROPONIN C & TROPONIN I are also available   
See Also Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic, Familial 		Other names T2, Troponin; T1, Troponin; T, Troponin; Troponin-T; Troponin T2; Troponin T1
