   Also found in: Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
tro·po·nin  (trp-nn, trp-)
n.
A calcium-regulated protein in muscle tissue occurring in three subunits with tropomyosin.
[tropo(myosin) + -in.]
troponin  (trp-nn, trp-)
One of the proteins that make up the thin filaments of muscle tissue and that regulate muscle contraction and relaxation. Troponin occurs in three forms bound together in a complex. One of the three forms is a receptor of calcium ions that induces structural changes that allow the actin in the thin filaments to interact with myosin, causing contraction.
