What's a GeneRIF?

findings demonstrate a nonredundant role for TPM4 in platelet biogenesis in humans and mice and reveal that truncating variants in TPM4 cause a previously undescribed dominant Mendelian platelet disorder.
Title: Mutations in tropomyosin 4 underlie a rare form of human macrothrombocytopenia.
These results indicate that Tm-4 plays a role in regulating adhesion structures of osteoclasts, most likely by stabilizing the actin microfilaments present in podosomes and the sealing zone.
Title: Tropomyosin 4 regulates adhesion structures and resorptive capacity in osteoclasts.
Tropomyosin 4 defines longitudinal filaments in mouse models of muscular dystrophy and nemaline myopathy.
Title: Tropomyosin 4 defines novel filaments in skeletal muscle associated with muscle remodelling/regeneration in normal and diseased muscle.
Tm-4 is specifically enriched within and around osteoclast attachment structures, the sealing zone and podosomes.
Title: Tropomyosin isoforms localize to distinct microfilament populations in osteoclasts.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
