Gene: MYPN
Alternate names for this Gene: CMD1DD|CMH22|MYOP|NEM11|RCM4
Gene Summary: Striated muscle in vertebrates comprises large proteins which must be organized properly to contract efficiently. Z-lines in striated muscle are a sign of this organization, representing the ends of actin thin filaments, titin, nebulin or nebulette and accessory proteins required for structure and function. This gene encodes a protein which interacts with nebulin in skeletal muscle or nebulette in cardiac muscle and alpha-actinin. In addition, this gene product can interact with a protein with the I-band indicating it has a regulatory as well as structural function. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 10
Location in Chromosome : 10q21.3
Description of this Gene: myopalladin
Type of Gene: protein-coding
