Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including calcium channel inhibitor activity; calcium-dependent protein binding activity; and cytoskeletal protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; intracellular calcium ion homeostasis; and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure by ischemic conditions. Located in sarcomere. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; heart; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 7 and restrictive cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple). Orthologous to human TNNI3 (troponin I3, cardiac type). PHENOTYPE: Mice lacking both functional copies of this gene die of acute heart failure. [provided by MGI curators] |
