    text
  • localized mainly in the I-band of striated muscle, and may translocate from the I-band to the nucleus in response to muscle damage
  • localized in mitochondria and nuclei in both the normal distal renal tubule and oncocytoma
  • sarcomere-associated protein that can also localize in the nucleus
  • basic FUNCTION
  • putatively important in skeletal muscle hypertrophy
  • may play both important structural and gene regulatory roles in skeletal muscle
  • playing a specific role in cardiac ventricle as well as skeletal muscles
  • might function as shuttle proteins between the cytoplasm and nucleus, likely sending information to the nucleus concerning the changes in the structure or function of the contractile machinery
  • gives an important contribution to the coordination of proliferation and apoptosis during myogenic differentiation mainly through the TP53 network
  • involved in a mechano-signaling pathway that links myofibrillar stress response to muscle gene expression
