Gene information for MYOT (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9499
Official gene symbolMYOT
Full namemyotilin
Aliases,LGMD1,LGMD1A,TTID,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a cystoskeletal protein which plays a significant role in the stability of thin filaments during muscle contraction. This protein binds F-actin, crosslinks actin filaments, and prevents latrunculin A-induced filament disassembly. Mutations in this gene have been associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and myofibrillar myopathies. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.
