| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable intermediate filament binding activity; phosphatase activity; and phosphatidylinositol binding activity. Involved in mitochondrion distribution; mitochondrion organization; and muscle cell cellular homeostasis. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of catabolic process; negative regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and positive regulation of skeletal muscle tissue growth. Located in I band. Is expressed in embryo and trunk unsegmented mesenchyme. Used to study centronuclear myopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital structural myopathy. Orthologous to human MTM1 (myotubularin 1). PHENOTYPE: Hemizygotes for targeted null mutations develop a generalized, progressive myopathy beginning around 1 month and leading to death at 6-14 weeks of age. Mutant mice show amyotrophy with accumulation of central nuclei in skeletal muscle fibers. [provided by MGI curators] |
