Troponin T, Cardiac (cTnT)
Description:
Troponin T is a thin filament regulatory protein of striated muscle that binds to troponin C and I to tropomyosin and is required for calcium-dependent ATPase activity of myofibrillar proteins. It is important in proper muscle function and myofibril formation. In the human heart, four cTnT isoforms are expressed in a developmentally regulated manner. This expression in the human heart is affected by heart failure.

Application:
Suitable for use in Electron Microscopy, Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications have not been tested.

Recommended Dilutions:
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/paraffin): 1-2ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 minutes followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Positive Control:
Cardiac muscle

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
