Both troponin T and I are cardiac markers used to diagnose myocardial infarctions.
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.
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.
Cardiac troponin levels are usually too low to measure. Elevated troponin T levels indicate that there has been some form of damage to the heart.Strenuous exercise can also temporarily elevate troponin levels for a brief time. The effects of a heart attack would keep troponin T levels elevated for up to two weeks.
Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), myoglobin, homocysteine, C-reactive protein (CRP), troponin T (cTnT), and troponin I (cTnI)

Trop t more false positive in ckd.
strip test is related to throat for culture
both subunit serve different functions troponin t binds to tropomyosin, interlocking them to form a troponin-tropomyosin complex... TnT or troponin t is increased in a subset of patients with unstable angina, and these may be at higher risk for subsequent cardiac events and is also a cardiac-specific protein released during cell injury such as that following acute myocardial infarction (MI).... while troponin i binds to actin in thin myofilaments to hold the troponin-tropomyosin complex in place and it has also been identified as an early and and specific marker in cardiac disease and it also elevates above the reference range within 6 hours of the onset chest pain then peaks at approximately 12 hrs. and can remain increased for up to 144 hrs. after the onset of any symptoms or, Troponin T is a Strip test whereas Troponin I is a lab test which is more sensitive
No, they are not. Troponal is a mild opioid pain medication. Troponin is one of the sliding filaments used in muscle contractions. Troponin is a globular protein which binds tropomyosin to G actin and is controlled by Ca++.
troponin molecules.
There are 2 types of Troponin (Troponin T and Troponin I). These are proteins found in the heart muscle specifically. The levels go up if the heart muscle is injured.Both are used to diagnose Acute Myocardial Infarction (MI or Heart attack). More cardiac-specific than CPK or CK-MB. In other words, better test of heart injury than CPK or CK-MB.The level increases rapidly 3-12 h after MI, peaks at 24 h, and may stay elevated for several days (Troponin I 5-7 d, Troponin T up to 14 d). Serial testing recommended to rule in or rule out an MI after the onset of Chest pain.
The theraputic troponin level is 0.00.
