|
| 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:0000269|PubMed:12499399}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
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.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in skeletal muscle (at protein level). Expressed in skeletal muscle, heart, bone marrow and thyroid gland. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10369880, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10486214}.
