Summary: Predicted to enable 1-acylglycerophosphocholine O-acyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within heart looping and positive regulation of heart contraction. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial outer membrane. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including endoderm; head; liver; ovary; and pericardial region. Used to study Barth syndrome and visceral heterotaxy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Barth syndrome and dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human TAFAZZIN (tafazzin, phospholipid-lysophospholipid transacylase).

GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?

Disrupted gene function in yap1(-/-); taz(+/-) embryos did not disturb liver bud formation, but instead impaired cell proliferation in liver and movement of the neighboring lateral plate mesoderm (LPM). Overexpression of wild type yap1 or taz could rescue the defective liver phenotypes in yap1(-/-); taz(+/-) embryos.
Title: Yap1/Taz are essential for the liver development in zebrafish.
During vascular regression, Yap/Taz is activated by blood circulation in the endothelial cells. This leads to induction of Ctgf and actin polymerization. Interference with Yap/Taz activation decreased Ctgf production, which decreased actin polymerization and vascular regression.
Title: Yap/Taz transcriptional activity is essential for vascular regression via Ctgf expression and actin polymerization.
knockdown phenotype demonstrates that abnormal cardiac development, with a linear, nonlooped heart, and hypomorphic tail and eye development proves that tafazzin is essential for overall zebrafish development, especially of the heart.
Title: A zebrafish model of human Barth syndrome reveals the essential role of tafazzin in cardiac development and function.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
