The tropomyosins are a family of actin filament binding proteins. These proteins were first isolated from skeletal muscle, but later identified in many nonmuscle tissues. Tropomyosins are ubiquitous proteins of 35-45kD associated with the actin filaments of myofibrils and stress fibers. Vertebrates have at least 4 different tropomyosin genes; in humans, they are named TPM1, TPM2, TPM3, and TPM4. Tropomyosins expressed as different isoforms in muscle and non-muscle cells.
