Troponin
 
Troponin C is a part of the troponin complex. It contains four calcium-binding EF hands, although different isoforms may have fewer than four functional calcium-binding subdomains. It is a component of thin filaments (along with actin and tropomyosin). It contains an N lobe and a C lobe.  The C lobe serves a structural purpose and binds to the N domain of troponin I (TnI).  The C lobe can bind either Ca2+ or Mg2+.  The N lobe, which binds only Ca2+, is the regulatory lobe and binds to the C domain of troponin I after calcium binding.
The tissue specific subtypes are:
