MYOZ1 myozenin 1

Gene ID: 58529, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CS-2; FATZ; MYOZ

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is primarily expressed in the skeletal muscle, and belongs to the myozenin family. Members of this family function as calcineurin-interacting proteins that help tether calcineurin to the sarcomere of cardiac and skeletal muscle. They play an important role in modulation of calcineurin signaling. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
