Abstract excerpt
Tropomyosin is a major component of the thin filaments in organized myofibrils of cardiac muscle cells. A purported role for this protein is to prevent myosin thick filaments from interacting with actin thin filaments until the cell contracts. Recently, tropomyosin has been implicated in actin fi...
