Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable cytoskeletal protein binding activity; integrin binding activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of cell-matrix adhesion and synaptic signaling. Predicted to act upstream of or within adult somatic muscle development. Located in neuromuscular junction and sarcolemma. Part of dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; digit mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and nasal epithelium. Used to study Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Orthologous to human UTRN (utrophin).
