INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	SPEG was identified as an MTM1-interacting protein
	SPEG interacts with myospryn complex proteins (CMYA5, FSD2, RYR1), and its deficiency results in myospryn complex abnormalities
	SPEG is required for stability of excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) complexes and interacts with esterase D (ESD), CMYA5, and Fibronectin Type III and FSD2 in cardiac and skeletal muscle
