TMOD2

Tropomodulin 2 (neuronal) also known as TMOD2 is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the TMOD2 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a neuronal-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.
