NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes beta-tropomyosin, a member of the actin filament binding protein family, and mainly expressed in slow, type 1 muscle fibers. Mutations in this gene can alter the expression of other sarcomeric tropomyosin proteins, and cause cap disease, nemaline myopathy and distal arthrogryposis syndromes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
Uniprot Description
TPM2: Binds to actin filaments in muscle and non-muscle cells. Plays a central role, in association with the troponin complex, in the calcium dependent regulation of vertebrate striated muscle contraction. Smooth muscle contraction is regulated by interaction with caldesmon. In non-muscle cells is implicated in stabilizing cytoskeleton actin filaments. The non-muscle isoform may have a role in agonist-mediated receptor internalization. Defects in TPM2 are the cause of nemaline myopathy type 4 (NEM4). A form of nemaline myopathy. Nemaline myopathies are muscular disorders characterized by muscle weakness of varying severity and onset, and abnormal thread-or rod-like structures in muscle fibers on histologic examination. Nemaline myopathy type 4 presents from infancy to childhood with hypotonia and moderate-to-severe proximal weakness with minimal or no progression. Major motor milestones are delayed but independent ambulation is usually achieved, although a wheelchair may be needed in later life. Defects in TPM2 are the cause of distal arthrogryposis type 1A (DA1A). A form of distal arthrogryposis, a disease characterized by congenital joint flexures or contractures that mainly involve the distal parts of the limbs, and affect two or more different body areas in the absence of a primary neurological or muscle disease. Distal arthrogryposis type 1 is characterized largely by camptodactyly and clubfoot. Hypoplasia and/or absence of some interphalangeal creases is common. The shoulders and hips are less frequently affected. Belongs to the tropomyosin family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Chicken TPM2 tpm2 (Catalog #AAA7237030) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7237030 ELISA Kit recognizes Chicken TPM2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Tropomyosin beta chain (TPM2), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
