- noun A protein binded to actin in skeletal and cardiac muscle that is released after interacting with troponin and calcium, facilitating the binding of actin to myosin that causes muscle contraction.

Dual expression of two CM mutants, that alone moderately increase myofilament activation, tropomyosin mutant A63V and cardiac troponin mutant R146G, were shown to additively slow myocyte relaxation beyond either mutant studied in isolation.
