Product name:Rat cardiac troponin Ⅰ,cTn-Ⅰ ELISA Kit
Description:
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.The cardiac isoform (cTnI) is about 40% dissimilar, has a molecular weight of 22,500 daltons, Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) has been useful in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting to Emergency Departments (ED) with chest pain.The level of cTnI remains elevated for a much longer period of time (6-10 days), thus providing for a longer window of detection of cardiac injury. Normal levels of cTn I in the blood are very low. After the onset of an AMI, cTnI levels increase substantially and are measurable in serum within 4 to 6 hours, with peak concentrations reached in approximately 12 to 24 hours after infarction. The cTnI Enzyme Immunoassay provides a rapid, sensitive, and reliable assay for the quantitative measurement of cardiac-specific troponin I.
