Tropomyosin and troponin are called regulatory proteins because they act like a switch to determine when the fiber can contract and when it cannot.
Troponin is a major component of muscle tissue. It is composed of troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T. Troponin interacts with tropomyosin and myosin to create muscle contraction.
calcium ions bind to regulatory sites on troponin
troponin molecules.

The theraputic troponin level is 0.00.
Troponin testing is done to diagnose heart attacks (myocardial infarctions).
cardiac troponin I tests measure only cardiac troponin; tests for cardiac troponin T may cross-react with troponin found in other muscles and give positive or increased results in the absence of heart damage.
Troponin is a cardiac enzyme that your heart releases under stress.
Actin and myosin
Both troponin T and I are cardiac markers used to diagnose myocardial infarctions.
