Gene: NEBL
Alternate names for this Gene: C10orf113|LASP2|LNEBL|bA165O3.1
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a nebulin like protein that is abundantly expressed in cardiac muscle. The encoded protein binds actin and interacts with thin filaments and Z-line associated proteins in striated muscle. This protein may be involved in cardiac myofibril assembly. A shorter isoform of this protein termed LIM nebulette is expressed in non-muscle cells and may function as a component of focal adhesion complexes. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 10
Location in Chromosome : 10p12.31
Description of this Gene: nebulette
Type of Gene: protein-coding
