The Importance of Utrophin and Dystrophin

The Importance of Utrophin and Dystrophin. Dystrophin is the protein damaged in many cases of muscular dystrophy. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, the commonest and most severe form, is caused by the absence of dystrophin and normally leads to death by early adulthood. It is X-linked.

mybpc3

MYBPC3 encodes the cardiac isoform of myosin-binding protein C. Myosinbinding protein C is a myosin-associated protein found in the crossbridge-bearing zone (C region) of A bands in striated muscle. MYBPC3, the cardiac isoform, is expressed exclussively in heart muscle. Regulatory phosphorylation of the cardiac isoform in vivo by cAMPdependent protein kinase (PKA) upon adrenergic stimulation may be linked to modulation of cardiac contraction. Mutations in MYBPC3 are one cause of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] ?
