Molecular Weight: 20969

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: CSRP3

Gene ID: 8048

Function: Positive regulator of myogenesis. Acts as cofactor for myogenic bHLH transcription factors such as MYOD1, and probably MYOG and MYF6. Enhances the DNA-binding activity of the MYOD1:TCF3 isoform E47 complex and may promote formation of a functional MYOD1:TCF3 isoform E47:MEF2A complex involved in myogenesis (By similarity) . Plays a crucial and specific role in the organization of cytosolic structures in cardiomyocytes. Could play a role in mechanical stretch sensing. May be a scaffold protein that promotes the assembly of interacting proteins at Z-line structures. It is essential for calcineurin anchorage to the Z line. Required for stress-induced calcineurin-NFAT activation (By similarity) . The role in regulation of cytoskeleton dynamics by association with CFL2 is reported conflictingly: Shown to enhance CFL2-mediated F-actin depolymerization dependent on the CSRP3:CFL2 molecular ratio, and also shown to reduce the ability of CLF1 and CFL2 to enhance actin depolymerization (PubMed:19752190, PubMed:24934443) . Proposed to contribute to the maintenance of muscle cell integerity through an actin-based mechanism. Can directly bind to actin filaments, cross-link actin filaments into bundles without polarity selectivity and protect them from dilution- and cofilin- mediated depolymerization; the function seems to involve its self- association (PubMed:24934443) . In vitro can inhibit PKC/PRKCA activity (PubMed:27353086) . Proposed to be involved in cardiac stress signaling by down-regulating excessive PKC/PRKCA signaling (By similarity) .

Summary: Tissue Location: Cardiac and slow-twitch skeletal muscles. Isoform 2 is expressed in striated muscle. Isoform 2 is specifically expressed at higher levels in patients with neuromuscular diseases, such as limb- girdle muscular dystrophy 2A (LGMD2A), Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and dermatomyositis (PubMed:24860983)
