The symbols and + are as described in Table 1.

▲ = cell extracts were analyzed by western blot using the various primary antibodies indicated. Expression was qualitatively recorded as either negative (−) or plus (+) to 4 pluses (++++).

Δ = the assignations of various TPM protein isoforms to particular sizes on an SDS PAGE gel are as per Schevzov  et al. [23].

TPM1λ, μ, ν, and ξ would be detected by TM311, but we do not know their sizes on SDS PAGE.
