Tmod4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables tropomyosin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in actin filament organization; muscle contraction; and myofibril assembly. Located in striated muscle thin filament. Is expressed in diaphragm; liver; lung; and vertebral axis musculature. Orthologous to human TMOD4 (tropomodulin 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Tmod4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
