LMOD3 - leiomodin 3 Gene
Also Known as NEM10
Species: Homo sapiens
About LMOD3
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 195 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Biased expression in heart (RPKM 44.5), prostate (RPKM 4.8) and 1 other tissue.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the leiomodin family of proteins. This protein contains three actin-binding domains, a tropomyosin domain, a leucine-rich repeat domain, and a Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein homology 2 domain (WH2). Localization of this protein to the pointed ends of thin filaments has been observed, and there is evidence that this protein acts as a catalyst of actin nucleation, and is important to the organization of sarcomeric thin filaments in skeletal muscles. Mutations in this gene have been associated as one cause of Nemaline myopathy, as Other genes have also been linked to this disorder. Nemaline myopathy is a disorder characterized by nonprogressive generalized muscle weakness and protein inclusions (nemaline bodies) in skeletal myofibers. Patients with mutations in this gene often present with a severe congenital form of the disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]
