tropomodulin-3; ubiquitous tropomodulin; U-Tmod (TMOD3)

Function

• blocks elongation & depolymerization of actin filaments at the pointed end
• the Tmod/TM complex contributes to formation of the short actin protofilament, which in turn defines the geometry of the membrane skeleton (putative)
• binds to the N-terminus of tropomyosin & to actin

Structure

belongs to the tropomodulin family

Compartment

cytoplasm, cytoskeleton (putative)

Expression

ubiquitous

More general terms

• tropomodulin
• phosphoprotein
