tro·po·nin

(trō′pə-nĭn, trŏp′ə-)

A calcium-regulated protein, composed of three subunits, that is found in skeletal and cardiac muscle and regulates contraction by interacting with tropomyosin to control the binding of myosin to actin. Blood troponin levels are a biomarker for muscle damage, as in myocardial infarction.

[tropo(myosin) + -in.]
