Gene Information

Specificity

Recognizes Tropomyosin 1, 2, 3, 5a, 5b, 6.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide corresponding to the 9d exon from the alpha gene of tropomyosin.

Research Category
Metabolism
Research Sub Category
Muscle Physiology
This Anti-Tropomyosin Antibody is validated for use in WB, IC, IH for the detection of Tropomyosin.
Western Blot: 1:200-1:1,000. The antibody reacts with the ~29 kDa Tropomyosin protein on mouse brain cytosol. An additional band at ~52-55 kDa may be seen depending on sample and antibody concentration used. It is thought that this band may be a dimer.
Immunocytochemistry: 1:100-1:500
Immunohistochemistry: 1:100-1:500


Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Physical form

Affinity purified immunoglobulin. Liquid in PBS.

Storage and Stability

Maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months after date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Tropomyosin (Tm) is a key component of the actin cytoskeleton and >40 isoforms have been described in mammals. In addition to the isoforms in the sarcomere, we now report the existence of two nonsarcomeric (NS) isoforms in skeletal muscle. These

Tropomodulins (Tmods) are F-actin pointed end capping proteins that interact with tropomyosins (TMs) and cap TM-coated filaments with higher affinity than TM-free filaments. Here, we tested whether differences in recognition of TM or actin isoforms by Tmod1 and Tmod3 contribute

It has been reported that several proteins [heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70 and Hsc70), annexin II, and tropomyosin 5b] interact with the Ser(256) residue on the COOH terminus of aquaporin-2 (AQP2), where vasopressin-induced phosphorylation occurs for mediating AQP2 trafficking. However
