TPM2 codes for beta-tropomyosin that belongs to the actin binding protein family. Mutations in TPM2 have been linked to congenital myopathies, Sheldon-Hall syndrome and cap disease. Rabbit anti-TPM2 antibody recognizes canine, bovine, rabbit, zebrafish, chicken, human, mouse, and rat TPM2
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human TPM2
Application
Rabbit anti-TPM2 antibodies have been used for immunoblot analysis. It is also suitable for IHC applications at a concentration of 4-8 μg/ml.
Biochem/physiol Actions
TPM2 is beta-tropomyosin, an isoform of tropomyosin that is mainly expressed in slow, type 1 muscle fibers.The TPM2 gene encodes beta-tropomyosin, an isoform of tropomyosin that is mainly expressed in slow, type 1 muscle fibers (Tajsharghi et al., 2007 [PubMed 17846275]). See also TPM1 (MIM 191010), TPM3 (MIM 191030), and TPM4 (MIM 600317).[supplied by OMIM]. Publication Note: This RefSeq record includes a subset of the publications that are available for this gene.

Mutations affecting skeletal muscle isoforms of the tropomyosin genes may cause nemaline myopathy, cap myopathy, core-rod myopathy, congenital fiber-type disproportion, distal arthrogryposes, and Escobar syndrome. We correlate the clinical picture of these diseases with novel (19) and previously reported (31)
"Cap myopathy" or "cap disease" is a congenital myopathy characterised by cap-like structures at the periphery of muscle fibres, consisting of disarranged thin filaments with enlarged Z discs. Here we report a deletion in the beta-tropomyosin (TPM2) gene causing cap

Sheldon-Hall syndrome (SHS) is a rare autosomal dominant, inherited arthrogryposis syndrome characterized by multiple congenital contractures of the distal limbs. To date, four genes that encode the skeletal muscle fiber complex have been confirmed as the causative genes. Mutations in
Extraocular muscles are a unique subset of striated muscles. During postnatal development, the extraocular muscles undergo a number of myosin isoform transitions that occur between postnatal day P10 (P10) and P15. These include: (1) loss of embryonic myosin from the
