Abstract excerpt
Tropomyosin plays an important role in the regulation of actin-myosin interaction in striated muscles. Mutations in the tropomyosin gene disrupt actin-myosin interaction and lead to myopathies and cardiomyopathies. Tropomyosin with mutations in the α-chain is expressed in both the myocardium and skeletal muscles. We studied the effect of mutations in the α-chain of tropomyosin related to hypertrophic (D175N and...
