| Tissue Specificity | Expressed at intercalated disks in cardiomyocytes of the heart (at protein level). Expressed in myocytes where it localizes to actin filaments prior to differentiation and is then expressed at nonstriated nascent myofibrils and Z-bodies during differentiation (at protein level). Expressed in highly differentiated myocytes at immature or mis-aligned Z-disks (at protein level). Expressed in skeletal muscle. |
| Function | Protects actin filaments from depolymerization. Required for correct cardiac intercalated disk ultrastructure via maintenance of cell-cell adhesion stability, and as a result maintains cardiac organ morphology, conductance and heart beat rhythm. Required for development of normal skeletal muscle morphology and muscle fiber type composition. Plays a role in regulating muscle satellite cell activation and survival, as a result promotes muscle fiber recovery from injury and fatigue. |
