FAMILY
  • tropomyosin family
  • CATEGORY motor/contractile
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,microfilament
    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a central role in association with the troponin complex, in the calcium dependent regulation of vertebrate striated
  • having functions in regulating cell motility and in modulating the anti-angiogenic activity of cleaved high molecular weight kininogen (HKa)(Jin 2008)
  • promotes the formation of filopodia by regulating the recruitment of actin-binding proteins to actin filaments
  • its expression has an important role in temporal regulation of cell migration during wound healing
  • plays crucial roles in maintaining cortical actin integrity and asymmetric cell division during oocyte maturation, and dynamic regulation of cortical actin by TPM3 is critical to ensure proper polar body protrusion
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    text slow type I muscle fibers
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • dimerizing to form a helical coiled coil constituent binding to actin in the troponin complex (thin filamant) that regulates calcium-dependent binding of actin and myosin and muscle contraction
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • ACTA1 and TNNT1 and ultimatily regulating the development of muscle contraction
  • TTC9 interacts specifically with actin-binding protein tropomyosin TPM3 which stabilizes actin filament and focal adhesion
  • cell & other
