Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Involved in myoblast fusion; plasma membrane fusion; and positive regulation of skeletal muscle hypertrophy. Acts upstream of or within myoblast fusion involved in skeletal muscle regeneration. Located in Golgi membrane and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; limb; skeletal musculature; and somite. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Carey-Fineman-Ziter syndrome. Orthologous to human MYMK (myomaker, myoblast fusion factor).
