Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 233199 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in sarcomere organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within muscle contraction. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in M band. Is expressed in diaphragm; extensor digitorum longus; hindlimb; rectus femoris; and soleus. Orthologous to human MYBPC2 (myosin binding protein C2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele show reduced grip strength and plantar flexor muscle strength, reduced speed and force of fast skeletal muscle contraction, and impaired hypertrophic response of EDL muscle fibers to mechanical overload.
