    Summary
    Acts upstream of or within several processes, including regulation of calcium ion transport into cytosol; regulation of cardiac muscle contraction by calcium ion signaling; and sarcomere organization. Located in Z disc. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; mesoderm; musculature system; pectoral fin; and somite. Used to study myofibrillar myopathy 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple) and myopathy (multiple). Orthologous to human DES (desmin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
