TNNC2

protein-coding

troponin C2, fast skeletal type, the group of Troponin complex subunits|EF-hand domain containing|Cilia and flagella associated

Gene summary

Troponin (Tn), a key protein complex in the regulation of striated muscle contraction, is composed of 3 subunits. The Tn-I subunit inhibits actomyosin ATPase, the Tn-T subunit binds tropomyosin and Tn-C, while the Tn-C subunit binds calcium and overcomes the inhibitory action of the troponin complex on actin filaments. The protein encoded by this gene is the Tn-C subunit. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

TNNC2 was initially curated at expert request. No convincing evidence for a causal role for TNNC2 in HCM has been reported. Although TNNC2 encodes part of the troponin complex, which has been implicated in HCM, there is no direct evidence for an association between TNNC2 and HCM. There is no convincing case control evidence for an association between TNNC2 and HCM. The mechanism of pathogenicity is unknown. In summary, there is no reported evidence to support this gene-disease association with HCM. This gene-disease pair was originally evaluated by the HCM GCEP on 04/04/2017. It was reevaluated on 04/12/2023 by the HCVD GCEP. As a result of this reevaluation, the classification did not change.

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_003279.3. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Troponin is the central regulatory protein of striated muscle contraction. Tn consists of three components: Tn-I which is the inhibitor of actomyosin ATPase, Tn-T which contains the binding site for tropomyosin and Tn-C. The binding of calcium to Tn-C abolishes the inhibitory action of Tn on actin filaments.;
