Tnnt2 - troponin T2, cardiac type

Enables protein-macromolecule adaptor activity and troponin I binding activity. Involved in actin crosslink formation; cardiac muscle contraction; and regulation of muscle filament sliding speed. Located in myofibril. Part of troponin complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple). Orthologous to human TNNT2 (troponin T2, cardiac type).
