Rabbit Anti-Tropomodulin 1 antibody
This gene encodes a member of the tropomodulin family. The encoded protein is an actin-capping protein that regulates tropomyosin by binding to its N-terminus, inhibiting depolymerization and elongation of the pointed end of actin filaments and thereby influencing the structure of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton. Multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
Function:
Blocks the elongation and depolymerization of the actin filaments at the pointed end. The Tmod/TM complex contributes to the formation of the short actin protofilament, which in turn defines the geometry of the membrane skeleton. May play an important role in regulating the organization of actin filaments by preferentially binding to a specific tropomyosin isoform at its N-terminus.
Subunit:
Binds to the N-terminus of isoforms 2/3 of TPM3 and to actin.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton.
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in the erythrocyte, heart and skeletal muscle.
Similarity:
Belongs to the tropomodulin family.
