Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity; protein heterodimerization activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in actin filament organization and muscle contraction. Predicted to be located in actin cytoskeleton. Predicted to be part of muscle thin filament tropomyosin. Predicted to be active in actin filament. Is expressed in several structures, including cochlea; lateral plate mesoderm; musculature; retina; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in distal arthrogryposis type 1A and nemaline myopathy 4. Orthologous to human TPM2 (tropomyosin 2).
