Disease relevance of Flnc

  • These results suggest that KY is an intrinsic part of the protein networks underlying the molecular mechanism of several limb-girdle muscular dystrophies, particularly those where interactions between filamin C and disease causing proteins have been shown [1].
  • Filamin C interacts with the muscular dystrophy KY protein and is abnormally distributed in mouse KY deficient muscle fibres [1].
 

High impact information on Flnc

 

Biological context of Flnc

  • To enhance our understanding of this cell population, we examined the temporal-spatial expression pattern for filamin C during murine embryogenesis, adult muscle regeneration and in selected myopathic models of human disease [6].
  • These results support the paradigm that the regulatory mechanisms of muscle regeneration largely recapitulate the fundamental events observed during muscle development and that filamin C may function in signal transduction or cellular migration of the myogenic progenitor cell population [6].
 

Anatomical context of Flnc

  • This expression pattern was further supported using RT-PCR analysis of filamin C expression in differentiating C2C12 myotubes [6].
