Myot Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable alpha-actinin binding activity and cell-cell adhesion mediator activity. Predicted to be involved in axon guidance; dendrite self-avoidance; and homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Located in Z disc. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; gut; lung; nervous system; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in muscular dystrophy and myofibrillar myopathy 3. Orthologous to human MYOT (myotilin). [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 Myot often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- structural constituent of muscle
- immunoglobulin domain
- actinin binding
- Penicillin-Binding Protein C-terminus Family
- Immunoglobulin like
- Immunoglobulin I-set domain
