The contents of the Troponin complex page were merged into Troponin on 20 December 2016. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |

The new image looks somewhat amateuristic, IMHO. Anyone able to redraw it? JFW | T@lk 20:53, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
It's also fairly flawed because it implies that binding of four calcium ions is significant, when actually just one or two are regulatory, in cardiac or skeletal muscle, respectively. There is a lot of debate about the other two calciums, and they could well be replaced by magenesium in various biochemical contexts. I can redraw it, or we can perhaps duplicate an image from one of the open access journals. rmbh 02:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Redrawn. Quite simplified but now much more useful, and doesn't imply (as the previous one did) that 4 Ca2+ bind in a regulatory fashion. rmbh ( talk) 00:23, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
I suggest merging the 3 subunits and their descriptions into this article as a subtopic. Each article for the subunits are very short and would better contribute in this multimer complex article. Only when their descriptions are significant should they have their own link. LostLucidity ( talk) 16:37, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
I suggest merging with Troponin complex arcicle, while keeping Troponin test article separate. -- Kender ( talk) 19:35, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Definitely keep troponin test separate from troponin. the test is itself a huge deal, very different from the biology of troponins. -Immunology2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.67.129.16 ( talk) 05:12, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
I've added this because I read a small article about this and didn't see it here - might be relevant for someone, someday. If anyone can extend this section, please do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RonaldKunenborg ( talk • contribs) 20:37, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
I tried to add a pronunciation guide & its url after "Troponin is" but it created a big gap in the text. I hope an editor can add it:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/troponin pronounced TROH-puh-nin 24.0.113.90 ( talk) 12:30, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
I hope an editor can integrate this info into the article bc it's highly relevant to the obesity epidemic and how lifestyle changes can affect gene function and therefore profoundly affect health:
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/18/the-body-weight-muscle-mismatch/ ' “It seems likely” that there are changes in troponin T activity in obese people’s muscles and that, as a result, “it really is physiologically hard for them to move,” [Dr Marden said.]' 24.0.113.90 ( talk) 12:48, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
I think troponin complex should be merged into this page. It covers the same subject. Arripay ( talk) 22:59, 13 November 2013 (UTC) Done
I think the following sentence is incomplete: "In both primary pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary embolism, and acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), right ventricular strain with increased wall tension and ischemia". And in the next paragraph (about nervous system diseases) I suppose the troponin levels are increased but the article doesn't say anything.- Miguelferig ( talk) 20:08, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
doi:10.1001/jama.2014.5554 is a JAMA review of the interpretation of acutely raised cardiac troponins. It would be a great source for the section about the diagnostic use of troponins. JFW | T@lk 17:31, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
I think there are problems in this sentence:
Everything I see indicates that in the USA the standard units for troponin diagnostic tests are ng/mL (nanograms per milliliter). For troponin I, the following wording appears on an actual test result I have seen:
Other sources also seem to indicate the reference level for troponin I is 0.04 ng/mL. A brief look at some references suggests that 0.01 ng/mL is the reference limit for Troponin T. In any case, the units "ug" (micrograms) don't make much sense, unless they are understood to be ug per liter. There is also the issue that the sentence refers to "raised troponin," without specifying which protein (T, I, or C). Finally, no reference is cited for this threshold as set by WHO. -- Gpc62 ( talk) 15:44, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
