Simendan 77-89 troponin C1, slow skeletal and cardiac type Homo sapiens 0-18 8523447-1 1995 The role of cardiac troponin C (cTnC) as a target protein for the calcium sensitization by levosimendan, pimobendan, MCI-154 and EMD 53998 was evaluated using purified recombinant human cTnC. Simendan 91-103 troponin C1, slow skeletal and cardiac type Homo sapiens 12-30 8523447-1 1995 The role of cardiac troponin C (cTnC) as a target protein for the calcium sensitization by levosimendan, pimobendan, MCI-154 and EMD 53998 was evaluated using purified recombinant human cTnC. Simendan 91-103 troponin C1, slow skeletal and cardiac type Homo sapiens 32-36 8523447-4 1995 Only levosimendan showed calcium-dependent and to a lesser extent magnesium-dependent retention in the cTnC column. Simendan 5-17 troponin C1, slow skeletal and cardiac type Homo sapiens 103-107 8523447-5 1995 The findings indicate that levosimendan binds both to the N-terminal and C-terminal domains of cTnC. Simendan 27-39 troponin C1, slow skeletal and cardiac type Homo sapiens 95-99 8523447-6 1995 In agreement with this, only levosimendan shifted the calcium-induced fluorescence curve of dansylated cTnC to the left. Simendan 29-41 troponin C1, slow skeletal and cardiac type Homo sapiens 103-107 8523447-9 1995 In conclusion, it is suggested that the mechanism of calcium sensitizing effect of levosimendan, unlike that of the other calcium sensitizers, is based on calcium-dependent binding to the N-terminal domain of cTnC.
