Tafazzin Polyclonal Antibody
Product details
Background:
This gene encodes a protein that is expressed at high levels in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a number of clinical disorders including Barth syndrome, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic DCM, endocardial fibroelastosis, and left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. A long form and a short form of each of these isoforms is produced; the short form lacks a hydrophobic leader sequence and may exist as a cytoplasmic protein rather than being membrane-bound. Other alternatively spliced transcripts have been described but the full-length nature of all these transcripts is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

| Tissue Expression | High levels in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Up to 10 isoforms can be present in different amounts in different tissues. Most isoforms are ubiquitous. Isoforms that lack the N-terminus are found in leukocytes and fibroblasts, but not in heart and skeletal muscle. Some forms appear restricted to cardiac and skeletal muscle or to leukocytes. |

| Function | Disease:Defects in TAZ are the cause of 3-methylglutaconic aciduria type 2 (MGA2) [MIM:302060]. MGA2 is a severe metabolic disorder, often fatal in childhood, characterized by dilated cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, short stature, neutropenia and 3-methylglutaconicaciduria.,Disease:Defects in TAZ are the cause of non-compaction of left ventricular myocardium isolated X-linked (LVNCX) [MIM:300183]. LVNC is due to an arrest of myocardial morphogenesis. The disorder is characterized by a hypertrophic left ventricular with deep trabeculations and with poor systolic function, with or without associated left ventricular dilation. In some cases, the right ventricle is also affected.,Domain:The hydrophilic domain may serve as an exposed loop interacting with other proteins.,Function:Some isoforms may be involved in cardiolipin metabolism.,online information:TAZ mutation db,similarity:Belongs to the taffazin family.,tissue specificity:High levels in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Up to 10 isoforms can be present in different amounts in different tissues. Most isoforms are ubiquitous. Isoforms that lack the N-terminus are found in leukocytes and fibroblasts, but not in heart and skeletal muscle. Some forms appear restricted to cardiac and skeletal muscle or to leukocytes., |
