Mutations in this gene have been associated with dilated cardiomyopathy, also known as CMD1CC. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010] Expression Broad expression in heart (RPKM 72.6), prostate (RPKM 22.2) and 20 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
