Current studies show that Troponin I is a part of the troponin complex. Troponin I binds to actin in thin myofilaments to hold the actin-tropomyosin complex in place. Because of it myosin cannot bind actin in relaxed muscle. When calcium binds to the Troponin C it causes conformational changes which lead to dislocation of troponin I and finally tropomyosin leaves the binding site for myosin on actin leading to contraction of muscle.
Human Troponin is a family of proteins (Troponin I, T and C) found in skeletal and heart muscle fibers; cardiac Troponin helps muscles contract. Certain subtypes of human troponin (cardiac troponin I and T) are very sensitive and specific indicators of damage to the heart muscle myocardium)
