TMOD2 encodes a neuronal-specific member of the tropomodulin family of 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 tropomyosin. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.
TMOD2 encodes a deduced 351-amino acid protein. Northern blot analysis demonstrated restricted expression of TMOD2 in neuronal tissues; an approximately 9.5-kb transcript was seen in all brain regions. Northern blot analysis showed that expression of mouse Tmod2 occurred as early as embryonic day 7 and progressively increased during development.
