TMOD1 tropomodulin 1

Gene ID: 7111, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TMOD; ETMOD; D9S57E

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the tropomodulin family. The encoded protein is an actin-capping protein that regulates tropomyosin by binding to its N-terminus, inhibiting depolymerization and elongation of the pointed end of actin filaments and thereby influencing the structure of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton. Multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
