Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Contributes to potassium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on cardiac muscle cell contraction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fibroblast proliferation; heart development; and response to ATP. Located in plasma membrane and sarcomere. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; heart; musculoskeletal system; nervous system; and nose. Used to study coronary artery disease and hypertrichotic osteochondrodysplasia Cantu type. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy; dilated cardiomyopathy 1O; familial atrial fibrillation; and hypertrichotic osteochondrodysplasia Cantu type. Orthologous to human ABCC9 (ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 9).
