Troponin complexes consist of three subunits - troponin T (also known as TnT or TNNT), troponin I (TnI or TNNI) and troponin C (TnC or TNNC). Troponin is therefore heterotrimeric, with each of the different subunits providing specific binding sites, allowing each troponin to interract with a single molecule of tropomyosin, an actin filament and a Ca2+ ion respectfully.
