| Primary Identifier | IPR030107 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | XIRP2 |
| description | Proteins in this family contains Xin repeats, which define anactin-binding motif. In humans two Xin-repeat proteins have been identified, XIRP1 and XIRP2. They are expressed during early developmental stages of cardiac and skeletal muscles []and have an important role in cardiac development and function []. They bind to and stabilise F-actin [].This entry represents XIRP2, also known as Xin-beta. In mouse, it initiates the maturation of the intercalated discs (ICDs)during postnatal heart development []. |
