Tnni3 - troponin I, cardiac 3 Gene

Predicted to enable several functions, including Calcium Channel Inhibitor activity; calcium-dependent protein binding activity; and cytoskeletal protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular calcium ion homeostasis; circulatory system development; and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure by ischemic conditions. Located in sarcomere. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; heart; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 7 and restrictive cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple). Orthologous to human TNNI3 (troponin I3, cardiac type). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
