Mybpc1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable myosin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in sarcomere organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within muscle contraction. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in M band. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; hindlimb; reproductive system; skeletal musculature; and urinary system. Used to study congenital myopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myopathy 16; distal arthrogryposis type 1B; and lethal congenital contracture syndrome 4. Orthologous to human MYBPC1 (myosin binding protein C1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Mybpc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
