    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • putative membrane spanning region
  • two types of tandemly repeated blocks
  • a WH2 domain playing only an auxiliary role in nucleation, always synergizing with other domains or proteins for this activity
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine 64kd D1
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • tropomodulin family
  • CATEGORY motor/contractile

    basic FUNCTION
  • having tropomyosin binding activity
  • likely involved in hair cell differentiation
  • its function may be linked to Smooth muscle cell (SMC) contractile activity or actin cytoskeletal homeostasis
  • potential role in establishing normal smooth muscle cytoskeletal-contractile coupling

    small molecule
    protein
  • Smooth muscle cell-restricted SRF/MYOCD target gene
  • potent SRF coactivator, MYOCD, is shown to transactivate the LMOD1 promoter and induce the endogenous transcript and protein in cells that otherwise exhibit very low levels of MYOCD expression
