Tpm2

This gene belongs to the tropomyosin family which encodes proteins that bind to actin filaments and stabilize them by regulating access to actin modifying proteins. The encoded protein is a high molecular weight tropomyosin expressed in slow skeletal muscle. In humans, mutations in this gene are associated with nemaline myopathy, cap disease and distal arthrogryposis syndromes. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2013]

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 Tpm2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
