Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Troponin plays a central role in the calcium-regulation of muscle contraction: Troponin is the sole calcium-binding component of thin filaments (actin-tropomyosin-troponin complex) of striated muscles. Thin filaments without troponin support contraction irrespective of calcium concentration.
Detailed explanation-2: -Calcium then binds to troponin as described above, initiating the contraction process.
