Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable myosin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in sarcomere organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within cytoskeleton organization and muscle contraction. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in M band. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; hindlimb; reproductive system; skeletal musculature; and urinary system. Used to study congenital myopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myopathy 16; distal arthrogryposis type 1B; and lethal congenital contracture syndrome 4. Orthologous to human MYBPC1 (myosin binding protein C1).
