Best Answer

The function of tropomyosin is to cover the active site on the G Actin or Actin, so nothing can stick to it, when muscle is at rest.

Calcium is released from the sarcoplasm to bind with the troponin which allows the tropomyosin the reveal the binding sites on the actin so the muscle can contract


What is the function of tropomyosin troponin complex?

What is Troponin tropomyosin complex?

Salam. This complex is the main constituent of the thin filament of myofibril. Tropomyosin does mask (tropomaskin) the actin so as to avoid any myosin attachment to actin until some calcium attaches to troponin and unmask the actin from the mask of tropomyosin.
