Gene: TMOD2

Alternate names for this Gene: N-TMOD|NTMOD

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a neuronal-specific member of the tropomodulin family of actin-regulatory proteins. The encoded protein caps the pointed end of actin filaments preventing both elongation and depolymerization. The capping activity of this protein is dependent on its association with tropomyosin. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 15

Location in Chromosome : 15q21.2

Description of this Gene: tropomodulin 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
