MURC binds to Cav1 and inhibits the association of Cav1 with the active form of Galpha13, resulting in the facilitated association of the active form of Galpha13 with p115RhoGEF. These results reveal that MURC has a function in the development of pulmonary hypertension through modulating Rho/ROCK signaling.

The MURC/Cavin-4 in vascular smooth muscle cells modulates abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression at the early stage via the activation of JNK and MMP-9. MURC/Cavin-4 is a potential therapeutic target against AAA progression.
Title: Loss of MURC/Cavin-4 induces JNK and MMP-9 activity enhancement in vascular smooth muscle cells and exacerbates abdominal aortic aneurysm.
MURC/Cavin-4 facilitates recruitment of ERK to caveolae and concentric cardiac hypertrophy induced by alpha1-adrenergic receptors.

Data show that MURC/Cavin-4 forms a multiprotein complex that associates with caveolae, and identify Cavin-4 as a novel muscle disease candidate caveolar protein.
Title: MURC/Cavin-4 and cavin family members form tissue-specific caveolar complexes.
findings suggest that MURC is involved in the skeletal myogenesis that results from modulation of myogenin expression and ERK activation; MURC may play pivotal roles in the molecular mechanisms of skeletal myogenic differentiation

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.
