Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Component of a complex of multiple actin cross-linking proteins. Involved in the control of myofibril assembly and stability at the Z lines in muscle cells. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12499399}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane, sarcolemma. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere, Z line. Note=Sarcomeric, also localized to the sarcolemma. Colocalizes with MYOZ1 at the Z-lines in skeletal muscle.

Disease Associations

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 1A (LGMD1A) [MIM:159000]: An autosomal dominant degenerative myopathy with onset within a mean age of 28 years. Characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness of the hip and shoulder girdles, later progressing to include distal weakness, as well as a distinctive dysarthric pattern of speech. Affected muscle exhibits disorganization and streaming of the Z-line. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10958653, ECO:0000269PubMed:12428213}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Myopathy, myofibrillar, 3 (MFM3) [MIM:609200]: A neuromuscular disorder characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness greater distally than proximally, tight heel cords, hyporeflexia, cardiomyopathy and peripheral neuropathy in some patients. Affected muscle exhibits disorganization and streaming of the Z-line, presence of large hyaline structures, excessive accumulation of myotilin and other ectopically expressed proteins and prominent congophilic deposits. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15111675}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Spheroid body myopathy (SBM) [MIM:182920]: Autosomal dominant form of myofibrillar myopathy (MFM), characterized by slowly progressing proximal muscle weakness and dysarthric nasal speech. There is no evidence of cardiomyopathy. Muscle biopsy shows spheroid bodies within the type I muscle fibers. {ECO:0000269PubMed:16380616}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in skeletal muscle (at protein level). Expressed in skeletal muscle, heart, bone marrow and thyroid gland. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10369880, ECO:0000269PubMed:10486214}.
