Description

Predicted to have actin binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including sarcomere organization; skeletal muscle organ development; and somatic muscle development. Localizes to sarcolemma. 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). Is expressed in several structures, including axial mesoderm; axis; chordo neural hinge; musculature system; and somite. Orthologous to human DMD (dystrophin).
