Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables ankyrin binding activity. Involved in heart development; regulation of relaxation of cardiac muscle; and somitogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including forward locomotion; heart development; and sarcomere organization. Located in M band and Z disc. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo mesenchyme; heart; lung; and musculature. Used to study autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J; dilated cardiomyopathy 1G; and tibial muscular dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple) and myopathy (multiple). Orthologous to human TTN (titin).
