| ncRNA Symbol: | SYNC | | Full Name: | syncoilin, intermediate filament protein | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | SYNC1|SYNCOILIN | | Chromosome: | chr1 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 32680360 | End Site(bp): | 32703596 | | | Gene Summary: | This gene encodes a member of the intermediate filament family which contains an N-terminal head domain, followed by a central coiled-coil region and a short C-terminal tail. The protein is highly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle. The protein links the dystrophin associated protein complex (DAPC) to desmin filaments in muscle and may have a structural role in striated muscle. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009] | | External Links: | |
