tni peptide

Murine cardiac troponin I peptide (Murine cardiac TnI peptide) is a peptide derived from mouse cardiac troponin I (cTnI). It can induce severe myocardial inflammation in mouse models, leading to fibrosis, heart failure, and increased mortality. This peptide is utilized in heart failure research.

Troponin I is a cardiac and skeletal muscle protein useful in the laboratory diagnosis of a heart attack. Troponin I is a part of the troponin protein complex, where it binds to actin in thin myofilaments to hold the actin-tropomyosin complex in place.
