Tropomyosins (Tms) are a family of >40 highly conserved protein isoforms resulting from alternative splicing of four different genes during development and that are expressed in numerous cell types. These proteins form coiled-coil heterodimers which bind to actin polymers along the α-helical grove. Tropomyosin’s function varies depending on cell type in which it is expressed. Within muscle, Tms play a role in the regulation of actin-myosin interplay for the purpose of mediating muscle contraction. In non-muscle cells, studies suggest a role in the stabilization of actin filaments, along with protecting actin filaments from the severing action of gelsolin and ADF/cofilin depolymerization. Tms also appear to have a role in the moderation of access to actin for other actin-binding proteins. Tropomyosin has an integral role in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis. Down-regulation of Tms expression has been observed in tumor cells indicating a possible role for Tms as tumor suppressors.

The antibody recognizes the entire exon 9d of Tropomyosin.
