CATEGORY

antigen

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton

basic FUNCTION	involved in tropomyosin binding
	appropriate levels of both TMOD4 and LMOD3 are required for embryonic myofibrillogenesis and, both proteins can function redundantly during skeletal muscle thin filament assembly
	is required in the fast fibers for sarcomere integrity

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein

TMOD1 and TMOD4 cap thin filament pointed ends and functionally interact with the LMOD isoforms LMOD2 and LMOD3 to control myofibril organization, thin filament lengths, and actomyosin crossbridge formation in skeletal muscle fibers
