Lmod1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable tropomyosin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in actin cytoskeleton organization; muscle contraction; and positive regulation of actin filament polymerization. Located in actin filament and sarcomere. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome. Orthologous to human LMOD1 (leiomodin 1).
