Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Involved in myoblast fusion involved in skeletal muscle regeneration; plasma membrane fusion; and skeletal muscle organ development. Located in Golgi membrane; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in diaphragm; foregut; limb; skeletal musculature; and tail paraxial mesenchyme. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Carey-Fineman-Ziter syndrome. Orthologous to human MYMX (myomixer, myoblast fusion factor).
