Gene information for TPM2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7169
Official gene symbolTPM2
Full nametropomyosin 2 (beta)
Aliases,AMCD1,DA1,DA2B,NEM4,TMSB,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes beta-tropomyosin, a member of the actin filament binding protein family, and mainly expressed in slow, type 1 muscle fibers. Mutations in this gene can alter the expression of other sarcomeric tropomyosin proteins, and cause cap disease, nemaline myopathy and distal arthrogryposis syndromes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
