Tafazzin Polyclonal Antibody

disease:Defects in TAZ are the cause of 3-methylglutaconic aciduria type 2 (MGA2) [MIM:302060]. MGA2 is a severe metabolic disorder, often fatal in childhood, characterized by dilated cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, short stature, neutropenia and 3-methylglutaconicaciduria.,disease:Defects in TAZ are the cause of non-compaction of left ventricular myocardium isolated X-linked (LVNCX) [MIM:300183]. LVNC is due to an arrest of myocardial morphogenesis. The disorder is characterized by a hypertrophic left ventricular with deep trabeculations and with poor systolic function, with or without associated left ventricular dilation. In some cases, the right ventricle is also affected.,domain:The hydrophilic domain may serve as an exposed loop interacting with other proteins.,function:Some isoforms may be involved in cardiolipin metabolism.,online information:TAZ mutation db,similarity:Belongs to the taffazin family.,tissue specificity:High levels in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Up to 10 isoforms can be present in different amounts in different tissues. Most isoforms are ubiquitous. Isoforms that lack the N-terminus are found in leukocytes and fibroblasts, but not in heart and skeletal muscle. Some forms appear restricted to cardiac and skeletal muscle or to leukocytes.,
