Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in positive regulation of calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade. Located in Z disc. Is expressed in several structures, including aorta; gut; heart; lung; and spleen. Used to study dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human C10orf71 (chromosome 10 open reading frame 71). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit abnormal heart morphogenesis during development, partial postnatal lethality, development of dilated cardiomyopathy and cardiac dysfunction.
