Troponin, or the troponin complex, is a complex of three regulatory ... calcium channels open in the sarcoplasmic membrane and release calcium into the sarcoplasm.
Because it has increased specificity compared with CK-MB, troponin is composed of 3 proteins- Troponin C, Cardic troponin I, and Cardiac troponin T. Troponin I especially has a high affinity for myocardial injury. 12 hours Troponin is released during MI from the cytosolic pool of the myocytes.
Troponin I is a cardiac and skeletal muscle protein family. ... A significant part of cTnI released into the patient's bloodstream is phosphorylated. [8]
Troponin T binds to tropomyosin and helps position it on actin, [2] and together with the rest of the troponin complex, modulates contraction of striated muscle. [3] The cardiac subtype of troponin T is especially useful in the laboratory diagnosis of heart attack because it is released into the blood-stream when damage to heart muscle occurs. [4]
Activation of RyR2 causes it to open, releasing even more Ca 2+ into the cell, this release of calcium is called a calcium spark. This means that the initial flow of Ca 2+ into the cell, causes a larger release of Ca 2+ within the cell, therefore the process is called calcium induced calcium release (CICR). [8]

Terminal cisternae then go on to release calcium, which binds to troponin. This releases tropomyosin , exposing active sites of the thin filament, actin . There are several mechanisms directly linked to the terminal cisternae which facilitate excitation-contraction coupling .
The calcium binds to the calcium release channels (RYRs) in the SR, opening them; this phenomenon is called "calcium-induced calcium release", or CICR. However the RYRs are opened, either through mechanical-gating or CICR, Ca 2+ is released from the SR and is able to bind to troponin C on the actin filaments.
