A T-tubule (or transverse tubule) is a deep invagination of the sarcolemma, which is the plasma membrane of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle cells.These invaginations allow depolarization of the membrane to quickly penetrate to the interior of the cell.ransverse tubules are invaginations of the sarcolemma. Though the invaginations are normally perpendicular to the length of the fiber, many T-tubules can lie axial to the long-axis of the fiber, both wrapping around and running alongside myofilament bundles.
Proteins Present in the T-Tubule Membrane. The function of the t-tubules depends not only on their structure but also on the proteins within, and adjacent to, the t-tubule membrane. Immunohistochemical techniques have been widely used to investigate the location of proteins within cardiac ventricular myocytes.ata from normal cells suggest that the major difference between the t-tubule and surface membranes is the concentration of Ca 2+ -handling proteins at the t-tubules. Therefore, in this section, we will concentrate on these proteins.
