Tnnt1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

This gene encodes the slow skeletal tropomyosin-binding subunit of the troponin complex and plays an essential role in the regulation of striated muscle contraction. In humans, mutations in this gene are associated with nemaline myopathy type 5. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

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 Tnnt1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
