Description for Tropomyosin
paperback. Tropomyosin is one of the two core components of the actin filament and is involved in regulating most if not all functions of these filaments. This book covers all aspects of tropomyosin biology, from gene structure to their role in cell function and disease. Editor(s): Gunning, Peter. Series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology. Num Pages: 304 pages, 80 black & white illustrations, 8 colour illustrations, 8 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: MBGR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational.

Uncharacteristic maturity prevailed and I resisted the temptation, but I was struck by the underlying observation that research on the str- ture and function of tropomyosin has been somewhat invisible, particularly in terms of the cytoskeleton isoforms. So, how can it be that one of the two major components of the actin filament has been so thoroughly overlooked? I suspect that the answer is disappointingly ... Read more
