Gene information for Tpm1 (Rattus norvegicus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID24851
Official gene symbolTpm1
Full nametropomyosin 1, alpha
AliasesAlpha-tm,Tma2,Tmsa
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the tropomyosin family and encodes a protein that heterodimerizes with a beta subunit, binding actin in both muscle and nonmuscle cells. In both smooth and striated muscle cells, it plays a role in calcium dependent-regulation of muscle contraction. In nonmuscle cells, it stabilizes cytoskeleton actin filaments. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq]
