Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables alpha-tubulin binding activity; connexin binding activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Involved in detection of muscle stretch and negative regulation of membrane depolarization during cardiac muscle cell action potential. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including plasma membrane organization; regulation of signal transduction; and striated muscle cell differentiation. Located in T-tubule and caveola. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo mesenchyme; heart; musculature; and mystacial pad. Used to study hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and rippling muscle disease 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple); isolated elevated serum creatine phosphokinase levels; and muscle tissue disease (multiple). Orthologous to human CAV3 (caveolin 3).
