TMOD4

Tropomodulin 4 (muscle) also known as TMOD4 is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the TMOD4 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a muscle-specific member of the is_associated_with::tropomodulin family of is_associated_with::actin-regulatory proteins. The encoded protein caps the pointed end of actin filaments preventing both elongation and depolymerization. The capping activity of this protein is dependent on its association with is_associated_with::tropomyosin. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.
