Troponin: Test, Normal Values, Elevation

What is troponin? Troponin is an important muscle protein: skeletal and heart muscles are made up of muscle fibers (myocytes, muscle fiber cells), albeit in different ways. Each muscle fiber consists of up to hundreds of muscle fibrils (myofibrils), which contain thread-like strands (myofilaments). These strands contain various proteins that help the muscles to contract … Troponin: Test, Normal Values, Elevation
