Primary Identifier | MGI:1929471 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 59011 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables protein serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade; negative regulation of skeletal muscle tissue regeneration; and sarcomere organization. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on skeletal muscle fiber adaptation. Located in actin cytoskeleton. Is expressed in diaphragm; heart; musculature; and tongue. Orthologous to human MYOZ1 (myozenin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show reduced body weight and fast-twitch muscle mass, a fiber type shift toward more oxidative fibers, increased exercise capacity and calcineurin activity, and enhanced muscle regeneration after cardiotoxin injury.
