TROPOMYOSIN Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

Tropomyosin from porcine muscle has been used:

• as a positive control in actin- α-tropomyosin (TPM1) co-sedimentation analysis and assay
• in analyzing the anti-adhesive properties of fish tropomyosins
• in far Western blot analysis

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tropomyosin together with troponin, regulate the binding of myosin to actin. Tropomyosin is a dimeric coiled-coil protein forming continuous polymers along the myosin-binding groove of actin. Varoius tropomyosin isoforms help to confer structure and function to actins in the cytoskeleton and in striated muscle function.
