basic FUNCTION
| playing a role in differentiation and maintenanec of tissue types (myogenesis and cardiogenesis) |
|
HACD1 is necessary for muscle function |
|
is very effective at inducing bone repair and healing |
|
involved in the elongation of the very long chain fatty acids, in muscle fibre formation |
|
HACD1 promotes myoblast fusion during muscle development and regeneration |
|
is a key regulator of a lipid-dependent muscle fibre growth mechanism |
|
has a role in early myogenesis, and in maintaining skeletal muscle membrane systems |
|
HACD1 and HACD2 exhibit redundant activities in a wide range of fatty acids (FAs) elongation pathways, including those for saturated to polyunsaturated FAs, with HACD2 being the major 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase |
