| NCBI Gene Info:Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including sarcomere organization; skeletal muscle organ development; and somatic muscle development. Located in sarcolemma. Is expressed in several structures, including axial mesoderm; axis; chordo neural hinge; musculature system; and somite. Used to study Duchenne muscular dystrophy and muscular dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cognitive disorder; dilated cardiomyopathy (multiple); intellectual disability; and muscular dystrophy (multiple). Orthologous to human DMD (dystrophin).
