Abstract excerpt
Tropomyosins are a family of actin filament binding proteins. Like many structural proteins, tropomyosin isoform expression involves the use of multiple genes, but diversity is to a large extent generated by alternative processing of RNA. The tropomyosin family consists of 15 to 20 different protein isoforms which are coded by four genes. Each of these genes code for multiple proteins ranging from two up to as...
