    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a central role in association with the troponin complex, in the calcium dependent regulation of vertebrate striated muscle contraction
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • dimerizing to form a helical coiled coil constituent binding to actin in the troponin complex (thin filament) that regulates calcium-dependent binding of actin and myosin and muscle contraction
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • importance of the NEBL-TPM1 interactions in the maintenance and stability of the thin filaments

    Susceptibility
  • to metabolic syndrome
  • to clubfoot
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • polymorphism in the TPM1 short isoform promoter region is predicted to alter transcription factor binding, alters gene expression and is associated with the metabolic syndrome
  • variants influencing risk for isolated clubfoot
