| Standard Name | TPM2 (see Nomenclature conflict Note) |
|---|---|
| Systematic Name | YIL138C |
| Feature Type | ORF, Verified |
| Description | Minor isoform of tropomyosin; binds to and stabilizes actin cables and filaments, which direct polarized cell growth and the distribution of several organelles; appears to have distinct and also overlapping functions with Tpm1p; TPM2 has a paralog, TPM1, that arose from the whole genome duplication (1, 2, 3) |
| Name Description | TroPoMyosin |
| Gene Product Alias | tropomyosin |

NOMENCLATURE CONFLICT NOTE
| Name | Relevance | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MGM1 | Nomenclature conflict | TPM2 has been used to refer to both MGM1/YOR211C, which encodes a mitochondrial dynamin-related GTPase, and to TPM2/YIL138C, which encodes tropomyosin 2. |
