Notes
ICC/IF
Use at an assay dependent concentration. PubMed: 21245055
WB
Use a concentration of 1.25 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 38 kDa
(predicted molecular weight: 33 kDa). Good results were obtained when blocked
with 5% non-fat dry milk in 0.05% PBS-T.

Target
Function
Binds to actin filaments in muscle and non-muscle cells. Plays a central role, in association with
the troponin complex, in the calcium dependent regulation of vertebrate striated muscle
contraction. Smooth muscle contraction is regulated by interaction with caldesmon. In nonmuscle cells is implicated in stabilizing cytoskeleton actin filaments.
Tissue specificity
Detected in primary breast cancer tissues but undetectable in normal breast tissues in
Sudanese patients. Isoform 1 is expressed in adult and fetal skeletal muscle and cardiac
tissues, with higher expression levels in the cardiac tissues. Isoform 10 is expressed in adult and
fetal cardiac tissues, but not in skeletal muscle.
Involvement in disease
Defects in TPM1 are the cause of cardiomyopathy familial hypertrophic type 3 (CMH3)
[MIM:115196]. Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a hereditary heart disorder characterized
by ventricular hypertrophy, which is usually asymmetric and often involves the interventricular
septum. The symptoms include dyspnea, syncope, collapse, palpitations, and chest pain. They
can be readily provoked by exercise. The disorder has inter- and intrafamilial variability ranging
from benign to malignant forms with high risk of cardiac failure and sudden cardiac death.
Defects in TPM1 are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1Y (CMD1Y) [MIM:611878].
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic
function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Patients are at risk of premature
death.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the tropomyosin family.
Domain
The molecule is in a coiled coil structure that is formed by 2 polypeptide chains. The sequence
exhibits a prominent seven-residues periodicity.
Cellular localization
Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton.
