Abstract excerpt
High and low molecular weight (LMW) tropomyosin isoforms, by regulation of actin filaments, have a major role in the regulation of cell behaviour. They affect malignant transformation, motility, differentiation, metastasis and cell membrane protein presentation. Expression of LMW isoforms from the TPM1 and TPM3 genes have an important role in these effects but the regulation of their expression is unknown....
