Product Description

Human Cardiac Specific Troponin-I ELISA Kit

The cTnI ELISA is intended for the quantitative determination of cardiac troponin I in human serum. Measurement of troponin I values are useful in the evaluation of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Troponin is the inhibitory or contractile regulating protein complex of striated muscle. It is located periodically along the thin filament of the muscle and consists of three distinct proteins: troponin I, troponin C, and troponin T. Likewise, the troponin I subunit exists in three separate isoforms; two in fast-twitch and slow-twitch skeletal muscle fibers, and one in cardiac muscle. The cardiac isoform (cTnI) is about 40% dissimilar, has a molecular weight of 22,500 daltons, and has 31 additional amino acid residues that are not present on the skeletal isoforms. Antibodies made against this cardiac isoform are immunologically different from antibodies made against the other two skeletal isoforms, and the unique isoform and tissue specificity of cardiac troponin I is the basis for its use as an aid in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
