It lacks myosin and actin
#9
What is the role of troponin and tropomyosin in muscle contraction?
Troponin stabilizes actin filaments, while tropomyosin binds to calcium ions.
Troponin binds to calcium ions, triggering a conformational change in tropomyosin.
Tropomyosin stabilizes myosin filaments, while troponin binds to ATP.
Troponin regulates the release of acetylcholine, while tropomyosin binds to actin.
