CAVIN4 caveolae associated protein 4 [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: CAVIN4provided by HGNC
Official Full Name: caveolae associated protein 4provided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:33742

Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: MURC; cavin-4
Summary: This gene encodes a protein containing two coiled-coil regions. The encoded protein promotes Rho/ROCK (Rho-kinase) signaling in cardiac muscles cells, and may facilitate myofibrillar organization. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]
Expression: Biased expression in heart (RPKM 18.1), prostate (RPKM 5.6) and 2 other tissues See more

What's a GeneRIF?

MURC/cavin-4, especially in combination with Cav-3, may play a consistent role in the differentiation process of rhabdomyosarcoma.
Title: MURC/cavin-4 Is Co-Expressed with Caveolin-3 in Rhabdomyosarcoma Tumors and Its Silencing Prevents Myogenic Differentiation in the Human Embryonal RD Cell Line.
MURC mutations impart loss-of-function effects on MURC functions and probably are causal variants in human dilated cardiomyopathy
Title: Molecular genetic and functional characterization implicate muscle-restricted coiled-coil gene (MURC) as a causal gene for familial dilated cardiomyopathy.
MURC modulates RhoA signaling, and MURC plays an important role in the development of cardiac dysfunction and conduction disturbance with increased vulnerability to atrial arrhythmias.
Title: MURC, a muscle-restricted coiled-coil protein that modulates the Rho/ROCK pathway, induces cardiac dysfunction and conduction disturbance.

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.
