ELISA kits for detection of skeletal muscle troponin-I, myoglobin, fatty acid binding protein (FABP), and myosin light chain-1 (MLC-1) in species including mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, pig, and monkey are available, as are the respective purified skeletal muscle biomarkers. Skeletal muscle troponin-I (sTnI) has been considered the biomarker of choice for detection of muscle injury because unlike myoglobin and heart-type FABP it is expressed exclusively in skeletal muscle. We currently manufacture sTnI (fast twitch isoform) ELISA kits for mouse, rat, and monkey. Recently however we have developed an ELISA for the fast-twitch isoform of skeletal muscle troponin-C (F-TnC). F-TnC is significantly more stable in serum than sTnI. We consider F-TnC to be a better biomarker of skeletal muscle injury than sTnI. Myoglobin and heart-type FABP are useful markers of skeletal muscle injury in the absence of cardiac damage.
