Primary Identifier | MGI:98809 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 22003 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables actin filament binding activity. Involved in cardiac muscle contraction; positive regulation of heart rate by epinephrine; and ventricular cardiac muscle tissue morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development. Located in myofibril. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gut; heart; limb segment; and musculature. Used to study dilated cardiomyopathy 1Y and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy 1Y; familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 3. Orthologous to human TPM1 (tropomyosin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display embryonic lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
