- Abstract
The amino acid sequence of human cardiac troponin-C (TN-C) has been rabbit cardiac TN-C. These results show that troponin-C is one of the Edman degradation. The sequence, which consists of 161 amino acid residues, is identical to that of the ox heart and as such is capable of binding three calcium ions. It differs at only one position from that of rabbit cardiac TN-C. These results show that troponin C is one of the most highly conserved proteins known.
