Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable tropomyosin binding activity and troponin T binding activity. Acts upstream of or within transition between fast and slow fiber. Predicted to be part of troponin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; crus of diaphragm; heart; and skeletal musculature. Used to study nemaline myopathy 5A. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nemaline myopathy 5A; nemaline myopathy 5B; and nemaline myopathy 5C. Orthologous to human TNNT1 (troponin T1, slow skeletal type).
