Myoz2 - myozenin 2 Gene

Also Known as Fatz-2; Myozl2; 1110012I24Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 59006

Summary

Enables actin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade; sarcomere organization; and skeletal muscle fiber adaptation. Located in Z disc and actin Cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including diaphragm; foregut; heart; liver; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 16. Orthologous to human MYOZ2 (myozenin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
