Gene: TMOD1

Alternate names for this Gene: D9S57E|ETMOD|TMOD

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q22.33

Description of this Gene: tropomodulin 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
