Also known as DA1NEM4
Summary
TPM2 (tropomyosin 2, HGNC:12011) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 9p13.3, encoding Tropomyosin beta chain (P07951). Binds to actin filaments in muscle and non-muscle cells.
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.

Function. 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.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Heterodimer of an alpha (TPM1, TPM3 or TPM4) and a beta (TPM2) chain.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton.
Tissue specificity. Present in primary breast cancer tissue, absent from normal breast tissue.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated on Ser-61 by PIK3CG. Phosphorylation on Ser-61 is required for ADRB2 internalization.
Disease relevance. Congenital myopathy 23 (CMYO23) [MIM:609285] An autosomal dominant muscular disorder characterized clinically by hypotonia and muscle weakness, and a static or slowly progressive clinical course. Disease onset ranges from birth to childhood. Histologic examination of muscle fibers shows various anomalies including fiber type disproportion, an irregular myofibrillar network, abnormal thread-like or rod-shaped structures, and cap-like structures which are well demarcated and peripherally located under the sarcolemma with abnormal accumulation of sarcomeric proteins. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Arthrogryposis, distal, 1A (DA1A) [MIM:108120] A form of distal arthrogryposis, a disease characterized by congenital joint contractures that mainly involve two or more distal parts of the limbs, 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. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Arthrogryposis, distal, 2B4 (DA2B4) [MIM:108120] A form of distal arthrogryposis, a disease characterized by congenital joint contractures that mainly involve two or more distal parts of the limbs, in the absence of a primary neurological or muscle disease. Distal arthrogryposis type 2 is characterized by contractures of the hands and feet, and a distinctive face characterized by prominent nasolabial folds, small mouth and downslanting palpebral fissures. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The molecule is in a coiled coil structure that is formed by 2 polypeptide chains. The sequence exhibits a prominent seven-residues periodicity.
Similarity. Belongs to the tropomyosin family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 83 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
