Abstract
This invention relates to single-chain polypeptides and their genetic sequences comprising a human cardiac troponin I N-terminal fragment and troponin C. The N-terminal fragment may or may not have the intact N-terminus. The single-chain polypeptide may be expressed recombinantly, and a linker or spacer polypeptide or peptide may be interposed between the troponin sequences. The single-chain polypeptides have utility as controls or calibrators for troponin assays, for the purification of troponin subunits and as an antigen for the preparation of antibodies.
