Domain

The PH domain mediated binding to phospholipids with phosphoinositol headgroups. Affinity is highest for phosphatidyl 3,4,5-trisphosphate, followed by phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (By similarity).

Function

Probable muscle-intrinsic activator of MUSK that plays an essential role in neuromuscular synaptogenesis. Acts in aneural activation of MUSK and subsequent acetylcholine receptor (AchR) clustering in myotubes. Induces autophosphorylation of MUSK.

Involvement in disease

Myasthenic syndrome, congenital, 10

CMS10

A form of congenital myasthenic syndrome, a group of disorders characterized by failure of neuromuscular transmission, including pre-synaptic, synaptic, and post-synaptic disorders that are not of autoimmune origin. Clinical features are easy fatigability and muscle weakness affecting the axial and limb muscles (with hypotonia in early-onset forms), the ocular muscles (leading to ptosis and ophthalmoplegia), and the facial and bulbar musculature (affecting sucking and swallowing, and leading to dysphonia). The symptoms fluctuate and worsen with physical effort. CMS10 is an autosomal recessive, post-synaptic form characterized by a typical 'limb girdle' pattern of muscle weakness with small, simplified neuromuscular junctions but normal acetylcholine receptor and acetylcholinesterase function.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Fetal akinesia deformation sequence 3

FADS3

A clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders with congenital malformations related to impaired fetal movement. Clinical features include fetal akinesia, intrauterine growth retardation, polyhydramnios, arthrogryposis, pulmonary hypoplasia, craniofacial abnormalities, and cryptorchidism. FADS3 inheritance is autosomal recessive.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue specificity

Preferentially expressed in skeletal muscle and heart. Present in thigh muscle, diaphragm and heart but not in the liver or spleen (at protein level).

Cellular localization

  • Cell membrane
  • Peripheral membrane protein
  • Synapse
  • Accumulates at neuromuscular junctions.
