FAMILY
  • tropomyosin family
  • CATEGORY motor/contractile , structural protein
    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 muscle contraction
  • TPM4-defined cytoskeleton is a marker of growth and repair/regeneration in response to injury, disease state and stress in skeletal muscle (Vlahovich 2008)
  • 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 filamant) that regulates calcium-dependent binding of actin and myosin and muscle contraction
