Anti-troponin 1 [20] monoclonal antibody

Invented by Peter Cummins
Invented at University Of Birmingham

Info

Catalogue Number 160857
Applications ELISA WB
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets Human Cardiac Troponin 1
Synonyms CdTn1, cTn1
Reactivity Human and Dog
Relevance Cardiac and skeletal muscle contraction involves the cyclic interaction of myosin cross bridges with actin involving the concomitant hydrolysis of Mg ATP. Troponin and tropomyosin, located on the actin thin filament, are responsible for the calcium dependent regulation of the contractile process by responding to changes in the intracellular free calcium concentration. Muscle contraction is initiated by the binding of calcium to troponin C; this initiates a cascade of allosteric changes in the troponin/ tropomyosin complex, releasing the inhibitory troponin-I/actin interaction, and resulting in tropomyosin rotating radially on the thin filament from the inhibitory position. This allows actin and myosin to interact fully and, therefore, contraction to ensue.
Immunogen Canine and Human CdTn1
Positive Control IgG2a
Notes Reacts with native human CdTnI but not with
the recombinant protein.
Research Area Cardiovascular
