Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables actin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade; sarcomere organization; and skeletal muscle fiber adaptation. Located in Z disc and actin cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including diaphragm; foregut; heart; liver; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 16. Orthologous to human MYOZ2 (myozenin 2).
