Function |
Positive regulator of myogenesis. Plays a crucial and specific role in the organization of cytosolic structures in cardiomyocytes. Could play a role in mechanical stretch sensing. May be a scaffold protein that promotes the assembly of interacting proteins at Z-line structures. It is essential for calcineurin anchorage to the Z line. Required for stress-induced calcineurin-NFAT activation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Location |
Nucleus {ECO:0000305}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18505755}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000305}. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere, Z line {ECO:0000250}. Note=Mainly cytoplasmic (By similarity). In the nucleus it associates with the actin cytoskeleton (Potential). In the Z line, found associated with GLRX3 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000305}.

Tissue Specificity |
Cardiac and slow-twitch skeletal muscles.
