UTRN - utrophin Gene
Also Known as DRP; DMDL; DRP1
Species: Homo sapiens
About UTRN
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 123 orthologues and 36 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 15.3), fat (RPKM 15.0) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene shares both structural and functional similarities with the Dystrophin gene. It contains an actin-binding N-terminus, a triple coiled-coil repeat central region, and a C-terminus that consists of protein-protein interaction motifs which interact with dystroglycan protein components. The protein encoded by this gene is located at the neuromuscular synapse and myotendinous junctions, where it participates in post-synaptic membrane maintenance and acetylcholine receptor clustering. Mouse studies suggest that this gene may serve as a functional substitute for the Dystrophin gene and therefore, may serve as a potential therapeutic alternative to muscular dystrophy which is caused by mutations in the Dystrophin gene. Alternative splicing of the utrophin gene has been described; however, the full-length nature of these variants has not yet been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
