High impact information on tpma

In these examples, we gained initial entry into the tropomyosin messages by using heterologous primers (to conserved regions) derived from the rat skeletal muscle alpha-tropomyosin sequence [1].
In addition, tpma, ckm, and desm are also expressed in the heart [2].
Furthermore, expression of the hsp90 alpha gene is down-regulated along with myoD in differentiated muscles of the trunk at a time when levels of mRNA encoding the muscle structural protein alpha-tropomyosin remain high [3].
